The $1 million Randwick Guineas is a Group 1 event held at Randwick Racecourse in early March as one of the early features of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
The Randwick Guineas is held at New South Wales’ premier track, Royal Randwick Racecourse, during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival in early to mid-March each year.
Run over 1600m and offering $1 million in prize money, the Randwick Guineas is open to all 3 year old horses. As a set weight race, colts and geldings carry 56.5kg and fillies must carry 54.5kg.
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.
The 2024 Randwick Guineas ran on Saturday March 9, 2024 offering $1 million in total prize money with the Les Bridge-trained Hobartville winner Celestial Legend ($3.60) digging deep to hold off fellow Dundeel colt Militarize ($2.20F) in a thriller.

Stay tuned for our insider Randwick Guineas 2024 Tips on the million-dollar mile clash for three-year-olds this autumn.
The Randwick Guineas features a strong field, with multiple Group 1 winner Militarize the clear favourite given his past success at the track and distance. However, Encap presents a tempting upset opportunity. Trained by Gary Portelli, Encap appears ready to peak after a string of solid lead-up races. He narrowly missed out to Militarize in the Golden Rose in the spring and has performed well in two races this time in, finishing third in the Group 3 Eskimo Prince and second in the Group 2 Hobartville. With a small field and the step up to a mile distance potentially favouring him, Encap could surprise.
The Randwick Guineas field attracts a line-up of the season’s best middle-distance three-year-olds and is released by Racing NSW on the Wednesday before the race.
The 2024 Randwick Guineas field and barriers will be announced on Wednesday March 6, 2024 and published in full below.
Chris Waller’s three-time Group 1 winner Militarize racing second-up back against his own age heads the 2024 Randwick Guineas final field in Sydney this weekend.

The 2024 Randwick Guineas nominations attract in excess of 60 three-year-old hopefuls and will be published in full below.
The Randwick Guineas 2024 nominations close at midday on Tuesday the 13th of February, 2024.
The prestigious 2024 Randwick Guineas has drawn a whopping 100 aspiring colts and geldings at nomination stage, setting the stage for a thrilling battle. Leading the charge is Chris Waller‘s star pupil, Militarize, who dazzled onlookers with his Golden Rose victory last spring. He faces stiff competition from Godolphin‘s rising star, Tom Kitten, impressive winner of the Spring Champion Stakes. Another contender to watch is the progressive Celestial Legend, trained by the astute Les Bridge. This talented Dundeel colt has been steadily building his credentials and could be a major threat come race day.

The Randwick Guineas has been run and won since the event inaugurated in 1935 as the Canterbury Guineas. It changed to the Randwick Guineas from 2006 onwards and offers the winner a ballot free ride into the Doncaster Mile and Australian Derby
The Randwick Guineas is the opening leg of the Sydney Three Year Old Triple Crown series of races held during the autumn. The second leg is the Rosehill Guineas followed by the Australian Derby held during The Championships over the mile and a half in April.
The race has undergone a number of distance changes over the years and has been run over the current 1600m mile format from 2006. It began as a Principle status race until 1980 when it gained its current Group 1 title.
There’s also been a number of different venue changes for the Randwick Guineas including previous editions run at Canterbury Park, Rosehill Gardens and Warwick Farm.
Notable recent Randwick Guineas winners include Weekend Hussler (2008), Mosheen (2012), Le Romain (2016), and The Autumn Sun (2019).
