Tattersall’s Tiara Winners
Notable Tattersall’s Tiara winners throughout history include:

Bonanova (1999 & 2000): Bonanova achieved the rare feat of winning the race twice, showcasing her consistency and class. Trained by Gai Waterhouse, she was a dominant force in mares’ racing during her era and remains one of the few dual winners of the Tiara.
Porto Roca (2001): Porto Roca’s win was notable not just for her performance but also for her legacy as the dam of Dubai World Cup winner Monterosso. Her Tiara victory was a highlight in a solid racing career and added depth to her value as a broodmare.
Miss Potential (2004): A New Zealand-trained mare, Miss Potential was a fan favourite due to her comeback from a serious injury. Her win in the Tiara was a testament to her courage and determination, and she became a symbol of resilience in racing.

Red Tracer (2013): Red Tracer was a consistent Group performer who finally broke through at the elite level in the Tiara. Trained by Chris Waller, she later added the Empire Rose Stakes (then Myer Classic) to her resume, and her win was a reward for her persistence and talent.
Srikandi (2015): Srikandi completed the rare Stradbroke Handicap – Tattersall’s Tiara double, showcasing her brilliance over the Brisbane Winter Carnival. Trained by Ciaron Maher, she was a powerful sprinter-miler who thrived in Queensland.
Tofane (2021): Tofane’s Tiara win was part of a breakout season that saw her claim multiple Group 1s. Trained by Michael Moroney, she was a late bloomer who matured into one of Australia’s best mares, known for her strong finishes and toughness.
Startantes (2022): Startantes, a locally trained filly by Rob Heathcote, produced a stunning last-to-first run to win the Tiara. Her victory was a feel-good story for Queensland racing and showcased her explosive turn of foot.
Palaisipan (2023): Palaisipan, trained by Chris Munce, delivered a surprise win in her final race before retirement. Her Tiara victory was a fitting end to a consistent career and a proud moment for her connections.
Bella Nipotina (2024): Bella Nipotina was the standout mare of the 2024 Brisbane Winter Carnival, winning the Doomben 10,000 and placing in the Kingsford Smith Cup and Stradbroke before dominating the Tiara. She later went on to win The Everest, making her one of the most accomplished mares in recent memory.
