The meeting features a total of five Group 1 races with the Rosehill Guineas joined by the Group 1 $4.96 million Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m), the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m), the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m), and the Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m).

Restricted to three-year-olds the Rosehill Guineas field is run over a staying trip of 2000 metres and offers $750,000 in total prize money. The traditional autumn lead-up into the event is the Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) held a fortnight earlier over 400m shorter.

The Randwick Guineas – Rosehill Guineas double has recent been achieved by the likes of Metal Bender (2009), It’s A Dundeel (2013) and The Autumn Sun (2019).

In 2022 the same two horses ran the quinella in both the Randwick Guineas and Rosehill Guineas but in reverse order with Anamoe winning the latter by seven lengths over Converge, while in 2023 Lindermann improved on a Randwick Guineas second to win the Rosehill Guineas in an all-the-way upset.

Broadsiding (2nd in 2025) was the last Randwick Guineas graduate to continue on and win the Rosehill Guineas. 

Anamoe went on to further frank the 2022 Rosehill Guineas form returning in the spring to win five straight Group 1 races including the Cox Plate.

Most runners out of the Rosehill Guineas will continue onto ‘The Championships’ at Royal Randwick in April for a shot at the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m). Criterion (2014) followed a decade later by Riff Rocket (2024) are the latest horses to complete the Rosehill Guineas – ATC Australian Derby double.

The Rosehill Guineas winner is exempt from Australian Derby ballot.

As one of the best three-year-old events at the carnival, the Rosehill Guineas always attracts a fine field of contenders and has been won by some true turf champions including Sky Heights (1999), Tie The Knot (1998), Octagonal (1996), Danewin (1995), Naturalism (1992) and Sky Chase (1988), while equine superstars Phar Lap (1929) and Kingstown Town (1980) also recorded impressive victories in the Group 1 event.

The Randwick Guineas – Rosehill Guineas – Australian Derby races make up the coveted Sydney 3YO Triple Crown of races.

The 2025 Rosehill Guineas ran on Saturday March 22, 2025 as part of the bumper Golden Slipper Day card in Sydney with the Godolphin raced Broadsiding ($2.90F) narrowly saluting for the punters in a tight finish.

• To Win: #1 Broadsiding ($2.30 at time of publish) – BET NOW

A couple of longer priced hopes with genuine claims in this year’s Rosehill Guineas, but happy to stick with the favourite Broadsiding to return to Group 1 winning form third-up and fit over the 2000m. He loves the Rosehill track (3:2-0-1) and was so impressive fresh winning the Group 2 Hobartville over 1400m here two back. Second by a half-length to Linebacker in the Randwick Guineas over the mile last time out but can atone. At his last run at this distance, he was a distant 10 lengths third to Via Sistina in Melbourne Cox Plate, but that margin was amplified by the eight lengths the mighty mare had on the runner-up when she saluted in record time. At his own age with James McDonald in the saddle think he’ll be winning without too much pressure.

Rosehill Guineas History

The Rosehill Guineas began as a principal race run over seven furlongs and the inaugural winner was Electric Wire. The race distance was increased to nine furlongs in 1915 before a further increase occurred in 1948, bringing the length to a testing 10 furlongs. In 1973 the distance was converted to 2000m and after the race was not held in 1978, the Rosehill Guineas was elevated to Group 1 status in 1980 when the almighty Kingston Town was victorious.

In 2021 the original Golden Slipper Stakes race day including the Rosehill Guineas was abandoned due to heavy rainfall and unsafe track conditions and postponed to the following Saturday.

In 2022 Anamoe secured a dominant seven-length victory in the Rosehill Guineas results for the powerhouse Godolphin stable.
