The Rosehill Guineas is one of the premier Group 1 events for three-year-olds held as part of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival. Conducted by the Australian Turf Club (ATC), it is run at Rosehill Gardens in March on Golden Slipper Stakes Day. The meeting features a total of five Group 1 races with the Rosehill Guineas joined by the Group 1 $5 million Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m), the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m), the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) and the Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m).

Restricted to three-year-olds the Rosehill Guineas field is run over a staying trip of 2000 metres and offers $600,000 in total prize money. The traditional autumn lead-up into the event is the Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) held a fortnight earlier over 400m shorter. The Randwick Guineas – Rosehill Guineas double has recent been achieved by the likes of Metal Bender (2009), It’s A Dundeel (2013) and The Autumn Sun (2019).

In 2022 the same two horses ran the quinella in both the Randwick Guineas and Rosehill Guineas but in reverse order with Anamoe winning the latter by seven lengths over Converge, while in 2023 Lindermann improved on a Randwick Guineas second to win the Rosehill Guineas in an all-the-way upset.

Anamoe went on to further frank the 2022 Rosehill Guineas form returning in the spring to win five straight Group 1 races including the Cox Plate.

Most runners out of the Rosehill Guineas will continue onto ‘The Championships’ at Royal Randwick in April for a shot at the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m). Criterion (2014) was the last horse to complete the Rosehill Guineas – ATC Australian Derby double.

As one of the best three-year-old events at the carnival, the Rosehill Guineas always attracts a fine field of contenders and has been won by some true turf champions including Sky Heights (1999), Tie The Knot (1998), Octagonal (1996), Danewin (1995), Naturalism (1992) and Sky Chase (1988), while equine superstars Phar Lap (1929) and Kingstown Town (1980) also recorded impressive victories in the Group 1 event.

The Randwick Guineas – Rosehill Guineas – Australian Derby races make up the coveted Sydney 3YO Triple Crown of races.

The 2023 Rosehill Guineas ran on Saturday March 18, 2023 as part of the bumper Golden Slipper Day card in Sydney and was won in a thrilling upset by the all-the-way champion Lindermann ($6.50) for Chris Waller.

2023 Rosehill Guineas Results

  • 1st: #3 Lindermann ($6.50)
  • 2nd: #5 Pericles
  • 3rd: #6 Williamsburg

Chris Waller’s Randwick Guineas runner-up Lindermann ($6.50) was huge up in distance dominating the 2023 Rosehill Guineas results in the heat on Slipper Day. Jockey Nash Rawiller gave the Lonhro colt an incredible tactical ride going for home 700m out and upping the ante early. The clear favourite Pericles was brave doing the chasing and got his nose in front late, but Lindermann was too strong rallying in the final stride to steal the show.

2023 Rosehill Guineas Tips

Stay tuned for our exclusive Rosehill Guineas 2023 Tips on the ATC Derby lead-up this autumn.

  • To Win: #5 Pericles ($2.70 at time of publish) 

The bookies are tipping the Melbourne form lines to hold stronger than that out of the Randwick Guineas with Pericles on top off a stunning 2.75 length Group 2 Autumn Classic win. He’s a hard to knock favourite having saluted with confidence by that big margin second-up at Sandown over the 1800m. Still improving he is rock-hard fit third-up ready for the 2000m. The James Cummings-trained son of Street Boss is back in Sydney for the first time a second in the Tapp-Craig at Randwick in the spring. He was third over this distance at The Valley in the Vase and performed okay in the VRC Derby. This looks ideal. Barrier six suits and James McDonald is in typically top form.

2023 Rosehill Guineas Field

The Rosehill Guineas field attracts the season’s best three-year-old staying types typically coming off a Randwick Guineas run over a mile and heading towards the Australian Derby on Day 1 of ‘The Championships’ in April.

Rosehill Guineas History

The Rosehill Guineas began as a principal race run over seven furlongs and the inaugural winner was Electric Wire. The race distance was increased to nine furlongs in 1915 before a further increase occurred in 1948, bringing the length to a testing 10 furlongs. In 1973 the distance was converted to 2000m and after the race was not held in 1978, the Rosehill Guineas was elevated to Group 1 status in 1980 when the almighty Kingston Town was victorious.

In 2021 the original Golden Slipper Stakes race day including the Rosehill Guineas was abandoned due to heavy rainfall and unsafe track conditions and postponed to the following Saturday.

In 2022 Anamoe secured a dominant seven-length victory in the Rosehill Guineas results for the powerhouse Godolphin stable.

Rosehill Guineas Betting

Rosehill Guineas betting is normally very interesting and it is often surprisingly tough to pick the winner of the Group 1 event. There is generally one horse that starts the Rosehill Guineas as a short-priced favourite, but only a handful of favourites have won the race in the last thirty years.

Talented gallopers Bounty Hawk (1984), Noble Peer (1985), Veandercross (1992), Intergaze (1997), Universal Prince (2001), Teranaba (2007) and Shoot Out (2010) were all beaten as short-priced favourites, while Ring Joe (1987), Star Of Maple (1994), Diatribe (2000), Sale Of Century (2001) and De Beers (2006) all managed to score upset wins in the Group 1 event.

Recent favourites in Rosehill Guineas betting to salute for the punters include It’s A Dundeel (2013), Criterion (2014), D’Argento (2018), The Autumn Sun (2019) who started at an odds-on quote of $1.30 in what would be his swansong race and Mo’unga (2021). Rosehill Guineas odds open weeks in advance of the race at online bookmakers including Ladbrokes.com.au.

Anamoe ($1.70 in 2022) is the last favourite in Rosehill Guineas betting to win.

In 2023 the Godolphin-raced favourite Pericles ($2.30) finished a narrow second to Chris Waller’s all-the-way champion Lindermann ($6.50).

Race Record (at current distance): 1:59.99 set by Danewin in 1995 and equalled by Octagonal in 1996.
