2026 Empire Rose Stakes Form, Barrier Draw & Final Field<\/h2>\n
\n\t
The Empire Rose Stakes is a Group 1 race at Flemington on Saturday, and it\u2019s the final of three Group 1 races on the card. Empire Rose Stakes odds have Lady Shenandoah favoured to win, but there is money coming for a few other runners. Empire Rose Stakes Final Field & Barrier Draw We don\u2019t think barrier draws will have too much importance for the Empire Rose Stakes. Most runners will find their spot in running, and barrier 9 for Surfin\u2019 Bird won\u2019t be an issue, as she likes to roll forward.

\"Myer<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Taking Place on Victoria Derby Day, the Empire Rose Stakes is a Group 1 mile long race for fillies and mares only that was previously known as the Myer Classic due to sponsorship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run on the Saturday prior to the Melbourne Cup<\/a> at Flemington Racecourse in either late October or early November, the Empire Rose Stakes is a weight-for-age event offering $1 million in prize money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is one of three Group 1 races on the VRC Derby Day card, the meeting known as a day for racing purists with the official colours of the day being black and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a run in the Empire Rose Stakes, mares may run the following Saturday in the Group 1 Champions Stakes (2000m) or head to Newcastle for the $1 million The Hunter<\/a> (1300m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023 Pride Of Jenni won the Empire Rose Stakes – Champions Mile<\/a> double on successive Saturdays. She was also a star of the autumn taking out the All-Star Mile 2024 and that year’s Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes<\/a> (2000m) in Sydney by a runaway 6.5 length winning margin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 Empire Rose Stakes form was franked the winner, Atishu, running second next-up in the Champions Stakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
