Looking for early info on this year’s Rosehill Gold Cup? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know before this year’s race.
The Rosehill Gold Cup is a 2000m middle-distance staying race held at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse in late October each spring as part of the lucrative The Golden Eagle Race Day in Sydney.
Part of the wider $50 million The Everest Carnival, the meeting is headlined by the four-year-olds facing off in the $7.5 million The Golden Eagle (1500m) and runs on the same date as Melbourne’s coveted Victoria Derby Day card at Flemington.
Also a Special Conditions event, the Rosehill Gold Cup was inaugurated in the same year as The Golden Eagle (2019) and is a quality handicap race open to gallopers aged three-years-old and above.
Racing NSW offer a $500,000 bonus to any Rosehill Gold Cup winner that previously wins any of these four earlier events: Group 1 The Metropolitan (2400m), the Group 2 Hill Stakes (1800m) now worth $1 million in prize money, the Group 3 Craven Plate (2000m) or the St Leger (2600m).
In 2021 Think It Over made history claiming the Hill Stakes – Craven Plate – Rosehill Gold Cup treble to claim the million-dollar bonus and take his career prize money up over $4 million.
Should a horse run in any of those earlier Sydney Spring Racing Carnival races without success before winning the Rosehill Gold Cup that year, they are eligible for a $100,000 bonus.
Kembla Grange’s $1 million The Gong (1600m) held in mid to late November makes a nice next-up target for Rosehill Gold Cup graduates.
