    \"2023
    2023 Flight Stakes winner Tropical Squall. Photo: Steve Hart.<\/figcaption><\/figure>Part of the Epsom Handicap race-card at Royal Randwick during the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival, this event is exclusively for three year old fillies bearing set weights, making it a good value bet for any seasoned punters who have been watching the up and coming fillies and can factor in which horses will get an advantage from the weight system.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Group 1 Flight Stakes takes place over a mile (1600m) and offers $750,000 in prize money after being boosted from half-a-million in 2021. It is named in honour of dual Cox Plate winning mare<\/a> Flight (1945, 1946).<\/p>\n

    A good race to pay attention to before the Flight Stakes is the Tea Rose Takes, which takes place earlier in September. Also for 3 year old fillies and with set weights, but 200 metres shorter in distance, winning or placing in the Tea Rose Stakes has come to be known as a strong indicator of Flight Stakes success. Funstar (2019), the fellow Chris Waller-trained Zougotcha (2022) and Apocalyptic (2025) are the latest fillies to complete the Tea Rose Stakes – Flight Stakes double<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Flight Stakes is the final leg of the Princess Series of Races<\/strong> which also includes the Tea Rose Stakes,\u00a0Silver Shadow Stakes and Furious Stakes.<\/p>\n

    The top Flight Stakes graduates may back-up against the boys on the seven day turnaround into the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes<\/a> (2000m), a double completed by Montefilia in 2020.<\/p>\n

    Flight Stakes fillies may also be invite to contest the newly created $2 million The Invitation<\/a> (1400m).<\/p>\n

    The Flight Stakes winner also earns a ballot exemption for the following year’s Group 1 Doncaster Mile<\/a> (1600m) held during ‘The Championships’ at Randwick in April.<\/p>\n

    In 2022 the Flight Stakes runner-up She’s Extreme franked the form heading south two starts late to win Flemington’s Group 1 VRC Oaks (2500m) over the Melbourne Cup Carnival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    The 2024 Flight Stakes form was firmly franked with the winner Lady Shenandoah returning the following autumn to win her next three starts on the trot including the Group 1 Surround Stakes and Group 1 Coolmore Classic in 2025.<\/p>\n
