Named in honour of the legendary mid-century sprinting sensation, this Group 3 event has become a launchpad for Australia’s next generation of elite three-year-old sprinters.
A cornerstone of the path to the Golden Rose, it continues to celebrate speed, class, and the legacy of a true champion. Over the years, this race has unveiled future stars, with past winners including Our Maizcay (1995), General Nediym (1997), and the unforgettable Testa Rossa (1999), names that have since become etched in Australian racing history.
Set against the electric backdrop of a high-energy race day at Rosehill Gardens, Australian racing comes alive under the thundering hooves of tomorrow’s champions.
