2026 Randwick Guineas Results
Stay tuned for the official 2026 Randwick Guineas results and finishing order at Royal Randwick on Saturday March 7, 2026 and to see what horses are heading towards the Rosehill Guineas with winning claims.

- 3rd: No. 2 Attica
Winning Margin: 3.2 lengths
Winning Time: 1:33.44
Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman’s outstanding filly Sheza Alibi ($2.10F) gave the boys a galloping lesson when saluting for the punters by a huge 3.2 length margin in Saturday’s 2026 Randwick Guineas results. The sole filly in the field, she became the first of her kind since Mosheen (2012) to beat home the colts and geldings when rated to perfection by Luke Nolen – now a 2000-time winning hoop – to level up to the front runners and race away for her fourth straight victory.

Randwick Guineas Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Randwick Guineas 2026 Tips on the million-dollar mile clash for three-year-olds this autumn.
To Win: No. 9 Sheza Alibi
SHEZA ALIBI (4) is the sole filly in this year’s Randwick Guineas, and she profiles perfectly to knock off the boys at Royal Randwick on Saturday. The ultra-consistent Saxon Warrior filly brings red-hot form to Sydney, chasing a fourth straight win after completing the Vanity/Sandown Guineas double in the spring and resuming with a dominant Group 2 Angus Armanasco victory on Blue Diamond Day. She weaved through a tight gap before putting the race away by more than two lengths, taking her record to five wins from eight starts and confirming she’s come back better than ever. Drawn ideally in gate four and reunited with Luke Nolen, who guided her to Guineas glory at Sandown, she looks ready to follow in the footsteps of Mosheen — the last filly to win this race back in 2012. With her turn of foot, consistency, and a perfect platform into the mile, Sheza Alibi is the clear top pick to claim the Randwick Guineas.
