The $1 million Arrowfield 3YO Sprint is a Group 2 race run at Randwick on Day 2 of Sydney's The Championships and is also known as the Royal Sovereign Stakes.
The Royal Sovereign Stakes – now known as the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint – is a Group 2 sprint race for three-year-old short-distance specialists. Once again held at Sydney’s Royal Randwick Racecourse, having previously had a stint at Warwick Farm Racecourse, in April each year the 1200m race is run under set weights conditions.
Worth $1 million in prize money the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint is a key feature for this age of runners each Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
For 2020 the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint race was worth a reduced $500,000 due to the COVID-19 pandemic before being boosted to $1 million in 2021.
The race takes place on the second Saturday of April* on Day 2 of Sydney’s ‘The Championships. The meeting is headlined by four Group 1 races: the $5 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes, the Australian Oaks, the Queen Of The Turf Stakes and the coveted Sydney Cup run over the same two mile distance as the Melbourne Cup.
*In 2021 the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint ran on the third Saturday of April with all race meetings of the autumn in Sydney from Slipper Day onwards postponed a week due to the weather.
The 2022 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint form was franked with the winner Mazu going on to take out the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 in Brisbane that winter before returning in the spring to run third in the $15 million The Everest results and finish second in the $3 million Winners Stakes.
The Arrowfield Sprint third place-getter from 2022, In The Congo, further franked the form with seconds in the Doomben 10,000 and Kingsford-Smith Cup that winter and a victory in Perth’s Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) later in the year.
The Arrowfield 3YO Sprint 2023 ran on Saturday April 8, 2023 at Royal Randwick on Day 2 of The Championships and was won by the James Cummings-trained favourite Aft Cabin ($2.50F).

The updated Arrowfield 3YO Sprint 2023 betting odds across the autumn leading up to The Championships in April will be updated below once announced by Ladbrokes.com.au.
Aft Cabin ($2.50 in 2023) was the last Arrowfield 3YO Sprint favourite to win.
Stay tuned for our exclusive Arrowfield 3YO Sprint 2023 Tips on the million-dollar autumn showdown this April.
With a host of early scratchings include one-time favourite What You Need the money has firmed on Aft Cabin who is now odds-on to win for Godolphin. We’re taking him on however and have the John O’Shea-trained Zou Tiger on top at a more attractive price. Barrier five (one inside the favourite) in what is currently a 10-horse field. Fourth-up and fit off three lead-up placings. This nicely-bred Zoustar colt is a three-time runner-up from as many starts at the distance, and he is looking for his first win since August last year. Competitive in plenty since including his Golden Rose third in the spring. Last start third in the Randwick Guineas over a mile was strong, and he is down in trip here. Will be flying over the six furlongs off a winning Rosehill trial. Think he can score the upset.
The Royal Sovereign Stakes – now known as the 2023 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint field will be published below on Tuesday April 4, 2023 as soon as released by Racing NSW.
The Arrowfield 3YO Sprint 2023 final field features a smart line-up of young autumn sprinters led the James Cummings-trained Aft Cabin last seen running fourth in the Group 1 Randwick Guineas over a mile.

First won by Acamar in 1979, the Royal Sovereign Stakes quickly changed to Group 3 status in 1981. In 1996 the Royal Sovereign Stakes was elevated to be a Group 2 event.
Since its inauguration in 1979, the fastest winning time for the Royal Sovereign Stakes was recorded by Guineas in 1998 with 1 minute 3.66 seconds. The slowest winning time was recorded in 1981 by Trench Digger with 1 minute 15.8 seconds.
The race has been run at Royal Randwick, Warwick Farm Racecourse and for one year it took place at Rosehill Gardens (2013) when Rebel Dane won. Up until 2006 the event was restricted to colts and geldings, but fillies are now also eligible to line-up in the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint field. It was known as the Royal Sovereign Stakes from 1979 – 2013 before changing names to the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint in 2014.
The form of the 2021 Arrowfield 3YO Sprint was franked with the winner Wild Ruler going on to win that spring’s Group 1 Moir Stakes in Melbourne.
In 2022 the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint field ran with just four horses after seven were scratched due to the Heavy (10) Randwick track.
