The Caulfield Sprint is a Group 2 1000m sprint held as part of Caulfield Cup Day each spring carnival in Melbourne.
The Group 2 Caulfield Sprint is held at Melbourne’s Caulfield Racecourse on the same day as the $5 million Caulfield Cup. The 1000m open handicap offers $300,000 in prize money and is regarded as having the most competitive field of sprinters in all 1000m to 1200m races in the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.
Caulfield Cup Day also features a host of other Group status races including the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m) for the fillies, Group 2 Tristarc Stakes (1400m) and Group 3 Caulfield Classic (2000m) making for a top day of spring racing and punting.
Horses may come into the Caulfield Sprint field via a lead-up run in a race like the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1200m) at Flemington earlier in the month or Sydney’s Group 2 Premiere Stakes (1200m).
The best sprinters out of the Caulfield Sprint field will continue onto a Group 1 spring showdown including in 2011 when Sepoy won the Coolmore Stud Stakes next-up on Victoria Derby Day during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
The 2021 Caulfield Sprint form was franked with the winner Oxley Road returning the following autumn to run third in the 2022 Group 1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m).
In 2022 the Caulfield Sprint winner Asfoora won a Group 3 at Flemington next start before returning in the autumn of 2023 to finish third in that year’s Oakleigh Plate trifecta, fourth in the Group 1 The Galaxy results in Sydney and then run fourth in the inaugural $4 million The Quokka race in WA.
The 2023 Caulfield Sprint ran on Caulfield Cup Day on Saturday October 21, 2023 as The McCafe Sprint and was won in a late-lunging effort by the progressive Annabel Neasham-trained Doull ($13).

Stay tuned for our insider Caulfield Sprint 2023 Tips on the Caulfield Cup Day showdown this spring.
Small field lacking a bit of class, but have landed on General Beau first-up with plenty of decent form lines from last prep for him to frank here. The Brazen Beau entire for Matthew Ellerton has a good record fresh (6:2-1-0) and plenty of form at the Caulfield track (12:3-2-1). This is a horse that hasn’t won in a long time with his last being back in September of 2021. He has been competitive in plenty since however, is a Group 1 place-getter, and his latest run in August’s Group 3 Aurie’s Star Handicap for fourth was good. Down in the weights with 53kg to kick off his spring, which is the lightest he’s carried for some time. Barrier one and Damian Lane are two other pluses. Horses have broken longer winning droughts, and think it might be his time here.
The Caulfield Sprint field attracts a quality line-up of short-distance specialists each spring, many possibly heading towards a Group 1 VRC Sprint Classic (1200m) – now known as the Champions Sprint – run down the Flemington straight during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
The Caulfield Sprint 2023 field and barriers are released on the Wednesday of Caulfield Cup week and will be provided in full below once announced by Racing Victoria.
The 2023 Caulfield Sprint – run in 2023 as the McCafe Sprint – field features just seven final acceptors with updated markets led by Exosphere four-year-old Spacewalk for Godolphin chasing a third win on the trot.
