Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman’s untapped daughter of Ole Kirk, Ole Dancer ($5), improved on her Prelude second to go toe-for-toe with the Flight Stakes champion from Sydney, Apocalyptic, to narrowly deny the beaten favourite victory in a thrilling 2025 Thousand Guineas result on Caulfield Cup Day.

Stay tuned for our exclusive Thousand Guineas 2025 Tips on the three-year-old fillies to back and sack in the mile showdown this spring.

• To Win: No. 1 Apocalyptic 

APOCALYPTIC (4) is the boom filly of the season heading south chasing a Group 1 double. Having torn through the Princess Series in Sydney she’s now coming for the Caulfield crown. She’s short priced, but currently avoiding odds-on so still looks a touch of value. Happy to take Michael Freedman’s exciting daughter of Extreme Choice regardless of the price. She’s done everything right this prep including winning the Group 1 Flight Stakes over the mile at Randwick at her latest. She relished the distance easily accounting for her rivals in that with an effortless victory and should have no issues the opposite way of racing. Having stuck to the task nicely to become an elite level winner at just her fourth start, she has upside and continues to rise to the occasion. Drawn for a dream run in gate four, and Mark Zahra comes aboard for the ride. He’s flying and so is his mount. Maps well again. She’s got 2000 owners, one superstar in Zahra, a mountain of momentum, and my vote.

The Thousand Guineas is one of the premier races for fillies held during the annual Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

The event was moved ahead of the 2023 edition and took place at Caulfield Racecourse in November following the Melbourne Cup Carnival for two years.

In 2025 the Thousand Guineas moved back to its October timeslot joining the Caulfield Cup Day card on Saturday October 18, 2025 . 

In 2023 and 2024 the Thousand Guineas was on the same card as the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m).

In 2025 it was the second Group 1 race on Caulfield Cup Day along with the $5 million Caulfield Cup (2400m) featuring a field of potential Melbourne Cup bound horses.

The Group 1 Thousand Guineas is a middle-distance event run over 1600m by three-year-old fillies at set weights. It currently offers $1.5 million in prize money and is the fillies’ equivalent to the Caulfield Guineas for colts and geldings held earlier during the carnival.

The best lead-up races and guides to the Thousand Guineas include the Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m) at Flemington and the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m).

The Edward Manifold – Thousand Guineas is a very popular betting double at the Spring Carnival because of the Edward Manifold’s history of producing Thousand Guineas winners.

Fillies to win the double in recent years include Amphitrite (2018), Gallica (2008), Alinghi (2004), and Special Harmony (2003). The placegetters in the Manifold are also worth looking at for your Thousand Guineas bets, as Serious Speed (2007) and Miss Finland (2006) were both runner-up in this earlier event prior to claiming Thousand Guineas victory, as was Commanding Jewel (3rd in 2012).

In 2021 Yearning ran second in the Edward Manifold Stakes before an upset Thousand Guineas victory at 25/1.

Irish Lights (2009) meanwhile is the last filly to complete the Thousand Guineas Prelude – Thousand Guineas double, but the Thousand Guineas Prelude has also produced recent Thousand Guineas winners Amicus (2nd in 2014), Stay With Me (6th in 2015), Flit (9th in 2019) and Ole Dancer (2nd in 2025).

More and more Sydney’s Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m) is also serving as a lead-up into the Thousand Guineas field with Guelph (2013) and Global Glamour (2016) both recently completing the double.

Madame Pommery (6th in 2022) was the last Flight Stakes graduate out of Sydney to head south and win the Thousand Guineas.

In 2025 the Flight Stakes winner Apocalyptic jumped favourite in the Thousand Guineas only to go down narrowly in an upset to Ole Dancer.

The 2023 Thousand Guineas form was franked with the winner Joliestar returning the following autumn to beat home the boys first-up in the Group 2 $1 million Arrowfield 3YO Sprint in Sydney.

2025 Thousand Guineas Betting

The latest Thousand Guineas 2025 betting odds on the three-year-old fillies in the mix for the clash will be found at Ladbrokes.com.au and published here at Races.com.au as soon as markets on the $1.5 million feature are out.

A good Thousand Guineas betting tip to consider is the strong strike-rate of favourites in the Thousand Guineas odds with five saluting for the punters from 2008 – 2016.

The favourites were back on top in the 2019 Thousand Guineas results with Flit ($2.35) saluting for the punters.

There was a notable upset in 2021 with Yearning winning at Thousand Guineas odds of $26, and again in 2024 with Another Prophet saluting at $31.

2025 Thousand Guineas Form

Fillies that ran well in lead-up races in Melbourne like the Edward Manifold Stakes and Thousand Guineas Prelude usually sit top of the Thousand Guineas odds at bookmakers like Ladbrokes.com.au each spring.

From 2006 – 2016 the favourites in Thousand Guineas betting saluted for the punters six times, most recently with Global Glamour (2016), so tipping the best in betting has had nearly a 50% strike rate of paying out in the past decade.

The Thousand Guineas favourite was back in form in 2019 with the win by Godolphin-raced Flit.

It is also important when betting on the Thousand Guineas to look at the records of the trainers and jockeys in the race. Sydney trainers and their interstate raiders have a strong recent record in the race. David Hayes has prepared three recent Thousand Guineas winners including Stay With Me (2015), so any in-form filly from his Lindsay Park stables is worth a look at when doing the Thousand Guineas form.

Another factor that impacts the Thousand Guineas odds is the barrier draw.

Just one Thousand Guineas winner since 2004 has jumped from a double-digit barrier with Serious Speed (10 of 14 in 2007), so looking for the class runners drawn closer to the rails is a good Thousand Guineas betting tip.

The Thousand Guineas field attracts a gun field of three-year-old fillies, many stepping-up to a mile for the first time off a lead-up run in a race like the Thousand Guineas Prelude held a fortnight before.

Proven milers may also line-up in the Thousand Guineas field off a Sydney lead-up in the Flight Stakes (1600m).
