How competitive is the Rosemary Stakes market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 20 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2024 when the race had an over-round of 109%. The race in 2020 was a race that was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 125%, whilst on average over the last 20 renewals of the Rosemary Stakes, the over-round has been 118%, which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £118 which is bet.

Below you will find the 2025 Rosemary Stakes Trends. See which patterns have occurred over the recent renewals that you may be able to use for the next renewal. We also have a section that looks at the Rosemary Stakes Trend Analysis.

These are the top three quickest-run Rosemary Stakes races over the last 20 renewals:

  1. Soft Whisper (1:34.89) in 2021
  2. Coppice (1:35.05) in 2023
  3. Cloak Of Spirits (1:35.26) in 2020

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 Rosemary Stakes next time out, then you would have backed a total of 1 winner. Backing all 17 runners who have been out since their win at SP next time out would have returned an LSP of -8.00. Whilst we wait for the 2025 Rosemary Stakes, remember you can get daily racing predictions from the expert tipsters on the racing predictions page.

The runner that holds the record over the past 20 renewals for the slowest time in the race was set in the 2007 renewal when Perfect Star from Clive Cox under the guidance of Mick Kinane, won in a time of 1:42.60, whilst at the other end of the spectrum, Soft Whisper, trained by Saeed bin Suroor and ridden by Frankie Dettori set the quickest time of 1:34.89 in the 2021 renewal.

What the expert says...
From the winners between 2005 & 2024, only one went on to win next time out, which was back in 2018, so following the winner next time out has been costly.
