This season the Sheraco Stakes ran on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at Rosehill Gardens as a key Golden Pendant lead-up and saw the talented Brad Widdup-trained Savvy Hallie ($20) outrace her price second-up with an all-the-way upset chasing an entry into The Invitation race.
The Sheraco Stakes 2026 fires up the Sydney spring at Rosehill, bringing together some of the sharpest mares in training for a fast, high‑pressure 1200m showdown that always sets the tone for the carnival ahead. As stables roll out their fresh, trial‑fit sprinters, early Sheraco Stakes odds at Ladbrokes tend to move quickly, with punters watching closely for mares ready to explode first‑up and those building toward bigger targets later in the campaign.

With tempo, barriers and fresh‑form profiles all playing major roles, Ladbrokes gives punters the latest market shifts, insights and confidence to get on the front foot as the mares’ sprinting ranks kick into gear.

Latest News
Part of The Run To The Rose Stakes Day, which is headlined by the Group 2 Run To The Rose for Golden Rose hopefuls, the Sheraco is a 1200m sprint open to fillies and mares.
First run in 1998 the event is contested at set weights plus penalties and serves as a good lead-up into the Group 2 Golden Pendant. Mizzy (2019) and Manaal (2025) are the latest mares to complete the Sheraco Stakes – Golden Pendant race double.
In 2023 the Sheraco Stakes runner-up Espiona went on to win the Golden Pendant next start.
The best mares out of the Sheraco Stakes are also now potential runners in the $2 million The Invitation race, an event the 2021 Sheraco winner Entriviere finished fourth in after a Golden Pendant third, while Espiona ran second in the Sheraco before winning that year’s The Invitation.
The world’s richest turf race – the now $20 million The Everest (1200m) – is also a potential spring option for Sheraco Stakes graduates with the 2022 winner Shades Of Rose finishing eighth in that year’s edition behind Giga Kick.

Sheraco Stakes Betting
The Sheraco Stakes betting markets are usually led by horses that ran well at Rosehill the start before in a race like the Toy Show Quality, or first-up performers that have a strong fresh record.
Favourites in the Sheraco Stakes odds have a strong recent record and single-figure fancies have dominated the results over the past decade.
Entriviere ($2.60 in 2021) and Shades Of Rose ($2.45 in 2022) are the latest favourites in Sheraco Stakes betting to win.
There was, however, an upset in 2025 by Manaal at 10/1.
There was another notable upset Sheraco Stakes winner in 2026 with Savvy Hallie ($20).
Sheraco Stakes Field
The Sheraco Stakes race field attracts a quality line-up of fillies and mares eyeing bigger targets over the coming months including the Group 2 Golden Pendant (1400m) run back at the track. Mizzy (2019) was the last winner of both events in a single season.
Female gallopers in the Sheraco Stakes field may come via a lead-up run in the Group 3 Toy Show Quality (1100m) held earlier in the season. Again Mizzy in 2019 won both races.
In 2020 the Sheraco Stakes winner Haut Brion Her franked the form going on to run second in that season’s Winners Stakes back at Rosehill in November.
2026 Sheraco Stakes Field
The official Sheraco Stakes 2026 field of potential Golden Pendant or even Empire Rose Stakes runners are announced the Wednesday leading-up to the race, the full line-up to be published below.
The Sheraco Stakes 2026 final field features a quality line-up of fillies and mares including Chris Waller’s triple Group 1 winner Lady Shenandoah drawn the outside alley second-up off a fourth in the Winx Stakes and her resuming stablemate Lazzura who has been a standout at the Rosehill track in the past.

Sheraco Stakes Form Guide
The Sheraco Stakes form guide features all the must know information for punters like the jockeys, trainers, barriers and lead-up runs of the horses in the field.
The Sheraco Stakes form has stacked up in better spring races a number of times in recent years like in 2019 when the winner Mizzy won the Golden Pendant next start before placing third in both the Silver Eagle and the Golden Eagle, the latter now worth an incredible $10 million in stakes.
The 2024 Sheraco Stakes proved a very strong form race with the winner, Sunshine In Paris, travelling south to win that November’s Champions Sprint as well as the Doomben 10,000 the following winter in Brisbane.
Joliestar meanwhile ran third as the beaten odds-on favourite in the 2024 Sheraco but would atone the next year winning the 2025 Newmarket Handicap down the Flemington straight and the Kingsford-Smith Cup in Brisbane.
