Summary
The race that premieres the Australian Spring Racing Season, the Tooheys New Golden Rose is the feature race of the Sydney Spring Carnival and is continuing to grow in popularity.
Horses in ‘the Rose’ vie for a million dollars in prize money. The Tooheys New Golden Rose is quickly becoming the race to showcase the up and coming stars of the Spring Racing Season.
Sydney Turf Club's concept of linking the 2YO AAMI Golden Slipper and 3YO Tooheys New Golden Rose is giving owners a great opportunity to compete for huge prizemoney and provides more options for their thoroughbred investment.
In 2007, the race was further elevated to Group 2 status and is guaranteed to continue to attract an outstanding field.
In expectional circumstances which came as a result of the Equine Influenza in Spring 2007, the Tooheys New Golden Rose was run twice in 2008. The first running, a one-off event on 15 March, saw the Rose taken out by Forensics, which had won the AAMI Golden Slipper a year prior.
The second running of the race in 2008 was held on 30 August - the opening day of Sydney's Spring Racing Carnival. The million-dollar event was won by the Anthony Cummings trained Duporth.
