Held on the same day as the Group 3 Launceston Cup (2400m), the Vamos Stakes is run over 1400m and offers $150,000 in total prize money.
The Launceston Group 3 is contested under weight-for-age conditions by field dominated by local Tasmanian-trained fillies and mares coming off a run in a race like the Group 3 Bow Mistress Trophy (1200m) run at Hobart a fortnight earlier and now known as the Mystic Journey Stakes.
Three-year-old filly Geegees Mistruth (2025) was the last to complete the Mystic Journey Stakes – Vamos Stakes double.
The best out of the Vamos Stakes field may head to Adelaide for a shot at the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville in the winter, a race the 2016 Vamos Stakes winner I Love It finished third to Precious Gem in. I Love It also returned in the Vamos Stakes of 2017 to finish third on the back of her Bow Mistress third in the same year.
The 2021 Vamos Stakes winner Still A Star went on to run in Melbourne’s $5 million The All-Star Mile that autumn and also franked the form with a Group 2 Rose of Kingston Stakes victory at Flemington over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
The Vamos Stakes 2025 took place Launceston Racecourse on Wednesday February 26, 2025 as part of Ladbrokes Launceston Cup Day and saw Stuart Gandy’s odds-on favourite Geegees Mistruth ($1.35F) salute in style beating home the older mares.

2025 Vamos Stakes Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Vamos Stakes 2025 Tips on the Tassie Group 3 this summer.
- 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.
