The official 2026 San Domenico results will be available below once the race takes place on Saturday, August 29, 2026.
- #1 Guest House
- #6 Blue Door
- #3 Music Time
Guest House ($7) produced a booming first‑up statement in the 2026 San Domenico Stakes results at Rosehill, the Golden Slipper hero unleashing a devastating late surge under Zac Lloyd to break the race record and put any queries about his three‑year‑old progression to bed. Hugging the fence throughout, the Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr colt accelerated past favourite Blue Door to score by 1.25 lengths, with the run also reinforcing the Slipper form through third‑placed Music Time. His sharp 1:02.41 instantly reshaped the spring picture, with Neds tightening his Golden Rose odds to $3.60, trimming his Coolmore Stud Stakes quote to $4, and seeing his quote in 2026 The Everest betting slash from $51 into $15. Price said the colt now has Group 1 options everywhere — Golden Rose, Everest, Coolmore, even the Caulfield Guineas — but confirmed the stable’s focus is firmly on the sprint features, with Guest House emerging as one of the most explosive three‑year‑olds of the carnival.

The San Domenico Stakes is a Group 3 sprint contested over 1100m for three-year-olds held at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse at the end of August as a key early Sydney Spring Racing Carnival lead-up.
Offering $250,000 in prize money, the race is run at set weights plus penalties and serves as a nice campaign kick-off for youngsters heading towards a potential run in Melbourne’s Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) down the Flemington straight over the Cup Carnival in November. Exceedance (2019) was the last three-year-old to do the San Domenico Stakes – Coolmore Stud Stakes double.
Often three-year-olds out of the San Domenico Stakes field go through the grades and rise in distance for a shot at the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m), with Bivouac (2nd in 2019) the last San Domenico graduate to go on and win the Golden Rose. In The Congo (2021) was the last three-year-old to take out the San Domenico Stakes – Golden Rose Stakes double.
The quality of the San Domenico Stakes winners in recent years has been top class and include the aforementioned Exceedance (2019) along with Star Turn (2017), Japonisme (2016) and Foxwedge (2012).
In 2025, the San Domenico Stakes third placegetter Beiwacht went on to win the Golden Rose two runs later, while Wodeton finished runner-up in both events.
In 2026, Guest House became the first returning Golden Slipper winner to take out the San Domenico Stakes since 1991.

Which Horse Will Win the San Domenico Stakes in 2026
The best way to pick which horse will win the San Domenico Stakes in 2026 is to take into account their lead-up spring racing form, assess the barriers, and consider the weights each horse will carry.
Additional factors to consider when picking the San Domenico Stakes winner include:
- First-Up Factor – Many runners are first-up in the field so looking for proven fresh performers is key. Storm Boy (2024) and Guest House (2026) are the latest first-up San Domenico Stakes winnesr.
- Class Prevails – The shorter-priced 3YOs have a top recent record in the race so keep an eye on the single-figure fancies.
