The Randwick Guineas replaced the 1900m Canterbury Guineas after 2005. The Randwick Guineas winner gains automatic qualification for both the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) and the Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) held in April during Sydney’s ‘The Championships’.
Randwick Guineas Day features two Group 1 races with the marquee event supported by the Group 1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m). A host of other Group status races also take place at the meeting including the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) and two Group 2 status Golden Slipper Stakes lead-up races – the Reisling Stakes and Todman Stakes.
The major lead-up race to the event is the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m). Recent three-year-olds to complete the Hobartville Stakes – Randwick Guineas double include Celestial Legend (2024), The Autumn Sun (2019), Kementari (2018), Hallowed Crown (2015), Dissident (2014), and Ilovethiscity (2011).
The best out of the Randwick Guineas field may continue onto the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) run over more meters a fortnight later on Golden Slipper Stakes Day. The Autumn Sun (2019) and It’s A Dundeel (2013) are the latest horses to win the Randwick – Rosehill Guineas double.
In 2021 the Randwick Guineas runner-up Mo’unga went on to win the Rosehill Guineas next start, while the upset 25/1 Randwick Guineas winner Lion’s Roar finished third in that season’s Group 1 ATC Derby (2400m).
The 2022 Randwick Guineas winner Converge ran second next-up in the Rosehill Guineas. Anamoe meanwhile improved on his Randwick Guineas second to win the Rosehill Guineas before coming back in the spring to win five straight Group 1 races culminating with his Cox Plate victory.
The Randwick Guineas 2023 form was franked by the runner-up Lindermann who won the Rosehill Guineas at his next start.
