2025 Furious Stakes Results
The official Furious Stakes 2025 results and full finishing order of the Flight Stakes lead-up will be updated below once the race takes place on 2025 at Randwick.
- 1st: #16 Apocalyptic
- 2nd: #2 Tupakara
- 3rd: #3 Savvy Hallie
Apocalyptic ($5), trained by Michael Freedman, delivered a stunning first-up victory in the 2025 Furious Stakes results at Randwick on Saturday, overcoming a challenging lead-up that included a long spell due to a foot abscess and just one prior race start.
The maiden Extreme Choice filly surged through a narrow gap in the straight under Tommy Berry to win by a half-neck in a blanket finish, defeating Tupakara and Silver Shadow Stakes winner Savvy Hallie.
Freedman had considered a more conservative path but backed his instincts and Berry’s confidence, believing Apocalyptic had the class to compete at this level. The win confirmed her status as a top contender for the remaining legs of the Princess Series, with the Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) and Flight Stakes (1600m) now firmly in her sights.

Furious Stakes Betting
Furious Stakes betting odds are led by the spring’s top-performing fillies eyeing a run in the Group 1 Flight Stakes later in the season.
The Silver Shadow Stakes has produced more Furious Stakes winners than any other race so is the form-line to follow into the second leg of the Princess Series.
Manaal (3rd in 2024) was the last Furious Stakes winner to come via a lead-up run in the Silver Shadow Stakes.
Locally trained Sydney fillies, those proven over 1400m and top performers from the previous season as two-year-olds also feature prominently in Furious Stakes betting.
Libertini ($1.18 in 2019), Dame Giselle ($3.80 in 2020), and Manaal ($2.25 in 2024) are the latest favourites in Furious Stakes betting to salute for the punters. Both Libertini and Dame Giselle also completed the Silver Shadow Stakes – Furious Stakes double.
Furious Stakes Field
The Furious Stakes race field features the season’s best middle-distance three-year-old fillies.
The majority of the runners in the field come off an earlier run at Royal Randwick in the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m).
Speak Fondly (2015), Formality (2017), Libertini (2019) and Dame Giselle (2020) are the most recent fillies to complete the Silver Shadow Stakes – Furious Stakes double. Speak Fondly also went on to run second in the Group 1 Golden Rose (1400m) next start before also winning the Flight Stakes that spring.
Most fillies coming out of the Furious Stakes field go onto run in the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) back at Randwick a fortnight later. In 2014 Winx won the Furious Stakes before seconds in the Tea Rose Stakes and Flight Stakes, that double achieved by First Seal. The year before, the 2013 Furious Stakes winner Bound For Earth finished third in the Tea Rose and Flight Stakes.
More recently, Foxplay (2016), Dame Giselle (2020), and Tiz Invincible (2023) are the latest fillies to complete the Furious Stakes – Tea Rose Stakes double.
Other recent Furious Stakes winners to place in the Flight Stakes include North Star Lass (3rd in 2022), Dear Demi (3rd in 2012), Streama (1st in 2011), and More Strawberries (2nd in 2010).
Furious Stakes nominations close on the Monday before the race with the field and barrier draw out on the Wednesday.

- To Win: #3 Savvy Hallie ($4.80 at time of publish) – BET NOW
SAVVY HALLIE (5) stands out for mine to keep the wins coming in the Furious Stakes after a very good start to her 3YO campaign. Fresh at Newcastle she thrived in the wet to win over 900m by a runaway five lengths then franked that form relishing another Heavy rated track to beat Within The Law by a good margin in the opening leg of the Princess Series. She’s a touch of value now to claim the next Flight Stakes lead-up with firmer going on Saturday. Versatile, Brad Widdup’s daughter of Hellbent showed she could also be competitive on a Good (4) track when runner-up to Tempted as a 2YO in the Group 2 Percy Sykes. She’s fit, firing and think she stands a very nice chance to make it a hat-trick from a nice gate five draw.
