The Group 2 Caulfield Sprint is held at Melbourne’s Caulfield Racecourse on the same day as the $5 million Caulfield Cup. The 1000m open handicap offers $300,000 in prize money and is regarded as having the most competitive field of sprinters in all 1000m to 1200m races in the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

2025 Caulfield Sprint Results

Stay tuned for the official 2025 Caulfield Sprint results and finishing order this Caulfield Cup Day.

  • 1st: No. 1 Rey Magnerio ($7.50)
  • 2nd: No. 6 Geegees Mistruth
  • 3rd: No. 7 Zealously

Robbie Griffiths’ underrated Caulfield specialist and Group 1 Oakleigh Plate placegetter from the autumn, Rey Magnerio ($7.50) returned in style producing a huge late finish off a patient ride by Jye McNeil to head the 2025 Caulfield Sprint results. Still sixth on the home turn, the six-year-old marvel was then badly held up on the straight before finally getting a split 50m out from the line to charge through and salute in another deserving Group 2 victory. Griffiths is unsure if Rey Magnerio will be up to the challenge of the Group 1 $3 million Champions Sprint at Flemington on November 8 but said he will enter him for the event and wait to see.

Caulfield Cup Day also features a host of other Group status races including the Group 2 Tristarc Stakes (1400m), Group 3 Ethereal Stakes (2000m), and the Group 3 Moonga Stakes (1400m), and Group 3 Caulfield Classic (2000m) making for a top day of spring racing and punting.

Horses may come into the Caulfield Sprint field via a lead-up run in a race like the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1200m) at Flemington earlier in the month or Sydney’s Group 2 Premiere Stakes (1200m).

The best sprinters out of the Caulfield Sprint field will continue onto a Group 1 spring showdown including in 2011 when Sepoy won the Coolmore Stud Stakes next-up on Victoria Derby Day during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

The 2021 Caulfield Sprint form was franked with the winner Oxley Road returning the following autumn to run third in the 2022 Group 1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m).

In 2022 the Caulfield Sprint winner Asfoora won a Group 3 at Flemington next start before returning in the autumn of 2023 to finish third in that year’s Oakleigh Plate trifecta, fourth in the Group 1 The Galaxy results in Sydney and then run fourth in the inaugural $4 million The Quokka race in WA.

In 2025 Rey Magnerio ran third in the autumn’s Oakleigh Plate trifecta before returning with a bang to overcome a hampered run and win first-up in the Caulfield Sprint.

The 2025 Caulfield Sprint ran on Caulfield Cup Day on Saturday October 18, 2025 and was won in a terrific late charge by Robbie Griffiths’ Caulfield marvel Rey Magnerio ($7.50).

2025 Caulfield Sprint Tips

Stay tuned for our insider Caulfield Sprint 2025 Tips on the Caulfield Cup Day showdown this spring.

To Win: No. 1 Rey Magnerio

REY MAGNERIO (4) shapes up as the value for mine in a winnable edition of the Caulfield Sprint drawn a good gate and ready to fire fresh. Robbie Griffiths’ Magnus six-year-old resumes and has a lovely first-up record (3:2-0-1). Well proven here at Caulfield (8:2-1-3) he is after his first win since saluting in the Group 2 Rubiton Stakes (1100m) at this course in the autumn. Followed that up with an eye-catching Group 1 Oakleigh Plate third on Blue Diamond Day behind Jimmysstar who looks a backmarker with genuine claims in Sydney’s The Everest this weekend. While his three subsequent runs left a bit to be desired, fresh he’ll be ready to bounce back and he’s classy enough to beat these. Well-rated, and even giving weight away as the 59kg topweight, he’s got the gate, the gears, and the grit to be a live chance at a nice price.

Caulfield Sprint History

First raced in 1983 and won by Bow Mistress, the Caulfield Sprint has undergone plenty of name changes since it was first recognized as the Racing Museum Sprint. Over the years the race has been known as the Brylcream Sprint, National Sprint Championship, Caulfield Sprint, Jupiter’s Casino Sprint, Conrad Jupiter’s Sprint, Schillaci Stakes, Mercedes-Benz Sprint, National Telecoms Group Sprint, Dodo Internet Sprint and now it is known as the Thai Airways International Sprint.

First recognised as a Listed race, the Caulfield Sprint then became a Group 3 event in 1993 and finally advanced to Group 2 status in 1999. The race has only had one double winner which was Toledo in 1997-98 and was won with the fastest recorded time by Jet Spur in 2005 with 1 minute 2.1 seconds. The slowest winning time was recorded by 1992 winner Tanjian Prince with 1 minute 6.2 seconds.

The Caulfield Sprint was contested over 1000m for 2015 giving to a quicker winning time (57.45 seconds) and was a dead heat for first for the second time in as many years.
