Sunshine Coast Guineas News
The Sunshine Coast Guineas is a Group 3 race held annually at Sunshine Coast Racecourse. The Sunshine Coast Guineas brings up the tailend of the Queensland Winter Racing Carnival and represents some of the last black-type racing in Queensland before the break for the winter.
The Sunshine Coast Guineas is held on Caloundra Cup Day, alongside the Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m) and the Listed Glasshouse Handicap (1400m). Paying $125,000, the Sunshine Coast Guineas is not the richest race on the day (both listed events pay $175,000), however it does attract a quality field. A mile event raced over 1600m, entrants in the Sunshine Coast Guineas tend to be the three-year-old horses at the end of their winter campaign looking to collect one last black-type trophy before resting for the winter.
The Group 2 Queensland Guineas (1400m) held at Eagle Farm on Queensland Oaks Day is considered a solid lead up race, along with the Listed Daybreak Lover (1400m) held on Stradbroke Handicap Day.
The 2017 Sunshine Coast Guineas ran on July 1, 2017.

2017 Sunshine Coast Guineas Field
The Sunshine Coast Guineas field features a capacity of 18 runners plus five emergencies and attracts a host of end-of-winter three-year-olds coming off lead-up races held during the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival.
Gallopers may have had a lead-up run in a race like the Queensland Guineas, or the fillies in the Sunshine Coast Guineas field may be graduates out of the Group 2 Dane Ripper Stakes.
The official Sunshine Coast Guineas 2017 Field & Barriers are released by Racing Queensland on the Wednesday of race week and will be published in full below.
The 2017 Sunshine Coast Guineas Final Field has drawn a capacity line-up of three-year-olds including the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained Group 3 winning colt from Sydney Acatour and the Gai Waterhouse-trained filly My True Love who has work to do from a wide barrier draw.

Sunshine Coast Guineas History
The Sunshine Coast Guineas ran as a listed race for the last time in 2012, as it was upgraded to Group 3 shortly after and ran as such for the 2013 edition. Prior to 2006, the race was unlisted; improving fields and its standing as a decent mile event led to the decision to upgrade its standing.
Notable winners of the Sunshine Coast Guineas include Shenzhou Steeds (2011), Diamondsondinside (2006) and Sunset (2000). Of course the standout Sunshine Coast winner in history is Winx (2015). Sunshine Guineas results since 2000 are listed below.
