Mystic Journey Stakes (Bow Mistress Trophy) Betting
Bow Mistress Trophy betting markets on the race now known as the Mystic Journey Stakes are led by in-form summer sprinters from local Tasmanian stables and the better performed fillies and mares with a strong Hobart track record.
There are traditionally longer Bow Mistress Trophy odds on any three-year-old fillies taking on the older mares in the event with Geegees Mistruth the first filly to beat home the older mares and claim victory in 2025.
In the 17 years from 2006 – 2025 nine editions of the race have been won by four-year-old mares most recently Zoushine (2022) and Yellow Sam (2024).
Yellow Sam ($2.70F in 2024) was the first favourite in Mystic Journey Stakes betting to win since I Love It ($5 in 2015), who also ran 2nd in 2016 and 3rd in 2017.
Geegees Mistruth ($2 in 2025) is the latest favourite in Mystic Journey Stakes betting to win.
