The Sandown Guineas is a Group 2 race run over the mile on Zipping Classic Day by a field of spring three-year-olds.
The Sandown Guineas is a Group 2 race held at the very end of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival on Zipping Classic Day in late November or early December.
Traditionally held a week after the Melbourne Cup Carnival comes to a close on Champions Stakes Day, in 2021 the Sandown Guineas was moved to the end of November where it remained in 2022.
The 2023 Sandown Guineas took place on the first Saturday in December.
The meeting previously ran at Sandown Racecourse – now known as Ladbrokes Park – but has taken place at Caulfield Racecourse since 2021.
Zipping Classic Day is host to a number of Group status races in total including the Group 2 Zipping Classic (2400m), Group 3 Eclipse Stakes (1800m), Group 3 Summoned Stakes (1500m) and Group 3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1200m).
The Sandown Guineas is a middle distance race run over 1600m and is for three-year-olds at set weights. The race offers lucrative stakes of $300,000.
It is also the last quality Group race for three-year-olds at set weights of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.
Horses competing in the Sandown Guineas may have come via a large number of quality events held throughout the carnival including the Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) during the Melbourne Cup Carnival at Flemington.
The 2023 Sandown Guineas ran on Saturday December 2, 2023 at Caulfield Racecourse as part of Zipping Classic Day and was won in a runaway upset by the filly Serasana ($13).

Stay tuned for our insider Sandown Guineas 2023 Tips ahead of the Zipping Classic Day support act this November.
Hard to go past the favourite from the Lindsay Park stable who looks to be doing plenty right ahead of this Group 2 feature. The Harry Angel colt was brave at 40/1 two back when fourth in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) down the Flemington straight on the back of a Black-Type Gothic Stakes win at Caulfield. Last time out was third on November 18 in the Group 3 Blue Sapphire Stakes (1400m) only 2.25 lengths off the winner Run Harry Run. Up in distance to a mile now rock hard fit. Yet to win over further than the six furlongs so there is that question, but this looks winnable for him on class alone.
The Sandown Guineas field usually attracts a quality field of three-year-olds chasing a final Group win for the spring. It is a very popular target for stronger three year olds following successful spring campaigns. Although it is only 1600m, three year olds who have previously contested longer events will also line up in the Sandown Guineas field.
The official Sandown Guineas 2023 Field & Barriers will be announced below on the Wednesday of race week.
The 2023 Sandown Guineas final field features a quality line-up of spring three-year-olds led in betting by Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes fourth place-getter Arkansaw Kid for Ben, Will & JD Hayes.

First run in 1957, the inaugural winner of the Sandown Guineas was Orient. The event originated as a Principal race over eight furlongs and for two years in 1968 and 1969 it was run over 10 furlongs before reverting back to the original distance. Up until 1967 it was a fillies only race and from its inauguration until 1964 the event was held at Caulfield racecourse before being moved to Sandown. A few years later when Australia adopted the metric system the length was converted to 1600m. The Sandown Guineas gained its Group 2 status in 1979.
Some more than handy types have claimed victory in the Sandown Guineas including Over (1999), Sedation (1998), King Ivor (1996) and Durbridge (1990), although the event doesn’t normally attract Group 1 quality runners. Sandown Guineas winners, place getters and winning times since 2000 are provided below.
In 2021 the Sandown Guineas was held a fortnight later than the traditional date and took place at Caulfield Racecourse.
