The Hawkesbury Guineas is a Group 3 race for three-year-olds run on Hawkesbury Gold Cup Day in Sydney during the autumn racing carnival.

The meeting’s headline race is the Group 3 Hawkesbury Gold Cup (1600m) for milers and the Hawkesbury Guineas is one of two other Group 3 status races on the card along with the Hawkesbury Crown (1300m) for fillies and mares.

The Hawkesbury Guineas is run over 1400m and the three-year-olds in the field face off at set weights plus penalties for a share in the $250,000 in prize money. The 2020 edition of the Hawkesbury Guineas took place at Rosehill Gardens and offered $160,000 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Horses in the Hawkesbury Guineas field may come via a number of different Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival lead-up races including the Group 2 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint (1200m) held at Randwick during ‘The Championships’.

In 2022 the Hawkesbury Gold Cup winner Mr Mozart came off back-to-back wins in the Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes and Group 3 Doncaster Prelude in Sydney.

Good follow-up races could include those during the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival including the Group 2 QTC Cup (1300m) and the Hawkesbury Guineas – QTC Cup double was recently achieved by Spill The Beans (2016). The Group 2 Queensland Guineas (1600m) is another Brisbane race run during the winter for Hawkesbury Guineas graduates and in 2016 Denmagic ran second in both races, while Sambro (2018) did the double.

In 2020 the Hawkesbury Guineas winner Dawn Passage won the Inglis Guineas next start before a trip to Brisbane to salute in the Group 3 Fred Best Classic as the short-priced favourite that winter.

The 2022 Hawkesbury Guineas form was franked with the winner Mr Mozart returning in the spring for a host of good runs including a second in the $1 million Silver Eagle.

The Hawkesbury Guineas 2024 winner Hawaii Five Oh franked the form going on to win the Group 3 Fred Best Classic in Brisbane before his eye-catching third in the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap results.

The 2024 Hawkesbury Guineas runs on Saturday May 4, 2024 as a potential lead-up to the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival.

• To Win: #6 Razors ($7.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW

This Godolphin-raced gelding has the option to run in the Queensland Guineas (1600m) in Brisbane, but if he lines up at Hawkesbury, he shapes as a great value bet at this shorter distance. A son of Sidestep, he boasts an impressive record at 1400m and narrowly missed out on a win at this very track last August. While he only has two career victories so far, and hasn’t saluted beyond a Class 1 race, his potential is undeniable. He finished second in the Tapp-Craig over this 1400m distance at Rosehill last spring, showcasing his talent. His past three runs have been solid, suggesting he’s building towards a peak performance. He was a close runner-up in the Listed South Pacific Classic last time out, and could potentially turn the tables on his recent conqueror, Panic, in this race.

2024 Hawkesbury Guineas Field

The Hawkesbury Guineas field attracts a class line-up of three-year-olds many of which have form over the distance or even up to a mile and is released the Wednesday before the race.

The official 2024 Hawkesbury Guineas field and barriers are set for release on the Wednesday of race week and will be published in fully below.

Hawkesbury Guineas History

The Hawkesbury Guineas was run for the first time in 2000 and won by Hire. A number of quality gallopers have since taken out the race including Alverta (2007), Neeson (2010), and most famously Chautauqua.

It began as a Listed race before gaining its current Group 3 status in 2014. Originally the event was run as a handicap race, but from 2006 onwards the Hawkesbury Guineas has been held under set weights plus penalties. The distance was also increased from 1200m to 1400m in 2006 and in 2015 it ran at Rosehill Racecourse instead of Hawkesbury Racecourse.

The 2020 Hawkesbury Guineas took place at Rosehill Gardens due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
