Australian Guineas/Cadbury Guineas History:

Guineas racing began in 1986 and in its short time on the track, has already become the third leg of the inaugural 1998 Australian Triple Crown for three year olds. As a result, the race distance was changed to 2000m between 1998 and 2000 and offered a total prize money of $1 million.

In 2001, the race returned to its original distance of 1600m and fillies were given an allowance of 2.5kg.
