Caulfield Guineas Day News
In 2026, Caulfield Guineas Day runs on Saturday, October 10, 2026.
The Caulfield Guineas Day 2026 meeting is one of the true centre pieces of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival. The program is headlined by the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas, Australia’s premier mile test for three-year-olds, but the card is stacked with elite racing across multiple divisions, making it one of the most anticipated and form rich days of the spring. With Group races, key lead-up events, and major betting opportunities from the opening race to the feature, Caulfield Guineas Day consistently delivers high-pressure contests, emerging stars, and crucial pointers towards the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and other spring majors. This page sets the scene for punters by outlining what Caulfield Guineas Day is, why it matters, and how its deep program shapes the entire spring carnival for racing fans and punters.
2026 Caulfield Guineas Day offers a great line up of racing action. Running on a Saturday in mid-October it is one of the top meetings of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival and is held one week before Caulfield Cup Day.
The Caulfield Guineas Day card at Caulfield Racecourse is a bumper 10-race line-up.
The day’s namesake race is obviously the Group 1 $3 million Caulfield Guineas (1600m) for three-year-old milers.
The fillies’ equivalent – the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) – no longer runs on Caulfield Guineas Day and instead takes place the weekend after on Caulfield Cup Day.
A further two other elite level spring features are on the card with the milers facing off in the Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) and possible Caulfield Cup types running in the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes (2000m) currently known as the Might And Power.
