Vamos Stakes Betting

Vamos Stakes betting markets traditionally open after the field is announced on the Friday prior to the event running at Launceston Racecourse during the Tasmanian Summer Racing Carnival. 

Fillies and mares with previous Group 3 or higher winning form, those that performed well the previous spring perhaps interstate in similar grade races and the proven Launceston runners traditionally dominate Vamos Stakes odds.

The older mares are usually better fancied in the Vamos Stakes markets with Deroche (2020) the first three-year-old filly to win since 2006. 

There was a notable upset in 2022 with Take The Sit winning at Vamos Stakes odds of $14 and again in 2023 with Jaja Chaboogie saluting at $26!

The fillies finished on top again in 2025 with Geegees Mistruth ($1.35F) the latest Vamos Stakes favourite to salute for the punters.

Vamos Stakes Field

The Vamos Stakes race field attracts a quality line-up of fillies and mares each summer/autumn racing season, many of which may have had a lead-up run in Hobart’s Group 3 Bow Mistress Trophy (1200m) – now Mystic Journey Stakes – a fortnight earlier. 

Stuart Gandy’s three-year-old filly Geegees Mistruth (2025) was the last female galloper to complete the Mystic Journey Stakes – Vamos Stakes double in the same year. 

Other recent Vamos Stakes winners to come off a run in the Mystic Journey Stakes include Take The Sit (8th in 2022) and Megamea (3rd in 2024). 

Another potential lead-up is Launceston’s Magic Millions 3YO & 4YO Classic held at the same track / distance the Saturday prior and in 2020 Deroche won both races three days apart as the odds-on favourite in each. 

Many Vamos Stakes hopefuls have contested previous editions of the race. 

Vamos Stakes nominations are taken the Wednesday before race week with final acceptances out on the Friday.

• To Win: #13 Geegees Mistruth ($1.65 at time of publish) – BET NOW

No value tipping the favourite but Geegees Mistruth looks too good to go past second-up chasing another win. Stuart Gandy’s nice Wordsmith filly won fresh beating Dazzling Lucy by a commanding two lengths in Hobart’s Group 3 Mystic Journey Stakes (1200m) with 53.5kg and she looks every chance to repeat the feat at Launceston on Wednesday. Same weight, hoop sticks with, and barrier five is ideal. She’s had two previous runs at the 1400m for a placing, but the ease of her last victory suggests she’ll see out the distance without any concerns here. Group 1 performed in Melbourne over the spring she has class and she gets her pet Launceston track now where she is two-from-two. Wins.
