🐎 2027 Roses Stakes: Preview, Tips & Trends

You know how punters get lost in too much data or bet blindly? I break down the stats and trends so you can feel confident you’re betting with more than just gut instinct.

2027 Roses Stakes Preview

A Listed race which is run over five furlongs, the Roses Stakes is restricted to two-year-old runners only, in which fillies and mares receive a 5lb allowance. The race is currently featured on the final day of the four-day York Ebor Festival, which takes place in August of each year.

The Flying Childers pathway — with a warning

The Roses Stakes points firmly towards Doncaster's Flying Childers Stakes, with thirteen of the last nineteen winners to run again heading straight there on their next start, both being sharp five-furlong tests for juveniles. For all that well-worn trail, though, just one of those thirteen went on to win the Group 2, most finding the step up in class beyond them. So while the Flying Childers is clearly the intended target, history urges real caution about backing a Roses winner to follow up at Town Moor ahead of the next renewal.

Looking at the future form, is the winner worth following next time out? Over the past 20 renewals, if you had followed the winner of the Roses Stakes next time out, then you would have backed a total of 3 winners. Backing all 19 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of -2.67.

When looking over the past 20 renewals, a time of 57.11 was set by Big Time Baby in 2016, trained by Tom Dascombe and ridden by Frankie Dettori, which is the quickest time over that period.
