Randwick Guineas
Looking for this year’s Randwick Guineas betting odds, field and tips? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know before this year’s race.
Run over 1,600 metres every March, the Randwick Guineas is a Group 1 race for three-year-olds held during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival. With a $1,000,000 prize purse, it is a big autumn target for the middle-distance youngsters and has been won by plenty of nice types including in recent years Weekend Hussler (2008), It’s A Dundeel (2013), and The Autumn Sun (2019).
If you’re looking for a nice lead in to this race, the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) has been a good recent guide with Celestial Legend (2024), The Autumn Sun (2019) and Kementari (2018) all recently completing the double.
The Randwick Guineas winner also gains a ballot exemption for the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) and the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) held during Sydney’s ‘The Championships’ later in the autumn.
In 2021 the Randwick Guineas winner Lion’s Roar went on to run third in that season’s Australian Derby results.
In 2022 Anamoe improved on a Randwick Guineas second to Converge to beat that runner home in a reverse quinella in the Rosehill Guineas. Anamoe further franked the Randwick Guineas form that spring winning five Group 1s on the trot including the iconic Cox Plate race at Moonee Valley.
The 2023 Randwick Guineas also produced that year’s Rosehill Guineas winner with the runner-up Lindermann going one better next start.
