The official 2025 Caulfield Sprint results will be available below once the race takes place on Saturday October 18, 2025.
- #1 Rey Magnerio
- #6 Geegees Mistruth
- #7 Zealously
Robbie Griffiths’ underrated Caulfield specialist and Group 1 Oakleigh Plate placegetter from the autumn, Rey Magnerio ($7.50) returned in style producing a huge late finish off a patient ride by Jye McNeil to head the 2025 Caulfield Sprint results. Still sixth on the home turn, the six-year-old marvel was then badly held up on the straight before finally getting a split 50m out from the line to charge through and salute in another deserving Group 2 victory. Griffiths is unsure if Rey Magnerio will be up to the challenge of the Group 1 $3 million Champions Sprint at Flemington on November 8 but said he will enter him for the event and wait to see.

Run over 1,000 metres, the Caulfield Sprint is a Group 2 race taking place at Caulfield Racecourse in mid to late October as part of the bumper Caulfield Cup Day card each spring. With a $300,000 prize purse, the short distance handicap event attracts some of Australia’s best sprinters.
Starting out as a Listed Race, this race was upgraded to Group 3 status in 1993, followed by Group 2 status in 1999.
This race serves as a good lead up for the VRC Champions Sprint or the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes for three-year-olds held at Flemington on Derby Day. Sepoy (2011) was the last horse to complete the Caulfield Sprint – Coolmore Stud Stakes double.
