The Golden Rose Stakes is an Australian Turf Club Group 1 Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-olds, run at set weights, over a distance of 1,400 metres at Rosehill Racecourse, Sydney, Australia. Previously run in late August or early September, the race is now run on the fourth Saturday in September.[1] Total prizemoney for the race is A$1 million.
The initial race was named after the dual Melbourne Cup winner Peter Pan (1932, 1934).[2]
When the race was renamed in 2003 the race had its grade dropped from Grade 2 to an unlisted race even though the stakes of the race were increased to $1 million.[3][4]
† Race not held in that year due to Equine Influenza outbreak. The Sydney Turf Club moved the race to the autumn for the 2007–08 racing season and the race was won by Forensics in March 2008.
