The Big Dance is a feature race run by Racing NSW at Royal Randwick Racecourse as one of the more lucrative events during the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival that officially gained Black-Type, Listed status in 2024.<\/p>\n

Offering an impressive $2 million in prize money for its inauguration in 2022, the race has had stakes boosted to $3 million in 2023 ahead of the second edition.<\/p>\n

The Big Dance race takes place on the first Tuesday of November, the same date as Flemington’s famous Melbourne Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was announced to run as the latest addition to the wider The Everest Carnival in Sydney along with the $2 million The Five Diamonds<\/a> (1800m) which will take the Saturday after at Rosehill Gardens.<\/p>\n

Contested over a mile, the quality handicap is open to horses aged three-years-old and above that become eligible via a run in 32 Country Cup races throughout the year.<\/p>\n

The first and second placegetters out of The Big Dance Wild Card race held at Randwick on The Everest Day are also exempt from The Big Dance ballot.<\/p>\n

The qualification process for the inaugural The Big Dance race in 2023 started with the Goulburn Cup on October 30, 2022.<\/p>\n

The inaugural Big Dance winner was the Kris Lees-trained Rustic Steel ($12).<\/p>\n

The second The Big Dancer winner was the Sara Ryan-trained Coffs Harbour Cup winner Attractable ($19).<\/p>\n

The third The Big Dance winner was $5 shot Gringotts trained by Ciaron Maher and ridden by Tommy Berry.<\/p>\n

The first 2025 The Big Dance qualifier took place on November 14, 2024, with the Snake Gully Cup.<\/p>\n
