Rustemo ran third.

2026 Winx Guineas Odds

The Sunshine Coast Guineas – now known as the Winx Guineas in honour of the event’s 2015 champion Winx – is a Group 3 race held annually at Sunshine Coast Racecourse. The Sunshine Coast Guineas brings up the tail end of the Queensland Winter Racing Carnival and represents some of the last black-type racing in Queensland before the break for the winter.

The Winx Guineas is traditionally held on Caloundra Cup Day, alongside the Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m) and the Listed Glasshouse Handicap (1400m).

Offering $300,000 in prize money as of 2023, the Winx Guineas is a mile event raced over 1600m. Entrants tend to be the three-year-old horses at the end of their winter campaign looking to collect one last black-type trophy before resting for the winter.

The Group 2 Queensland Guineas held at Eagle Farm is considered a solid lead up race, along with the Listed Daybreak Lover Stakes (1400m).

In 2020 the Sunshine Coast Guineas was renamed the Winx Guineas in honour of the 2015 champion Winx who went on to become the sole four-time Cox Plate champion in history.

The 2020 Winx Guineas also ran as the feature race at Caloundra without a 2020 edition of the Caloundra Cup taking place due to COVID-19 and a number of restrictions and reductions to the entire Queensland Winter Racing Carnival. It was also worth a reduced $125,000 in prize money before enjoying a prize money boost the following season.

The 2023 Winx Guineas form was franked the following winter with the winner, Knight’s Choice, running a nice second in the 2024 Group 2 $1.2 million The Q22 in Brisbane.

The 2026 Winx Guineas ran on Saturday July 4, 2026 at the Sunshine Coast in Queensland on Caloundra Cup Day and was won in a barnstorming finish by the progressive Tom Charlton-trained Cellarmaster ($5.50).

2026 Winx Guineas Form

The Winx Guineas form guide is the punter’s roadmap to understanding which three-year-olds are ready to peak over the Sunshine Coast mile, how they map, and which runners bring the right blend of class, tempo suitability and late-season improvement.

What the Winx Guineas Form Guide Shows:

• Track suitability — Corbould Park’s long straight rewards sustained momentum and genuine finishers.
• Tempo profile — Understanding leaders, on-pacers and swoopers is crucial in a race often run at a genuine clip.

The Sunshine Coast Winx Guineas 2026 nominations are taken the Monday leading-up to the race and will be available below as soon as released.

Sunshine Coast Guineas History

The Sunshine Coast Guineas ran as a listed race for the last time in 2012, as it was upgraded to Group 3 shortly after and ran as such for the 2013 edition. Prior to 2006, the race was unlisted; improving fields and its standing as a decent mile event led to the decision to upgrade its standing.

Notable winners of the Sunshine Coast Guineas include Shenzhou Steeds (2011), Diamondsondinside (2006) and Sunset (2000).

Of course, the standout Sunshine Coast winner in history is Winx (2015) who would go on to become Australian racing’s greatest horse.

The 2018 Sunshine Coast Guineas winner The Bostonian also franked the form of the race the following winter in Brisbane winning the Group 1 Doomben 10,0000 / Kingsford-Smith Cup double. Sunshine Guineas results since 2000 are listed below.

In 2020 the Sunshine Coast Guineas was renamed the Winx Guineas to honour the 2015 winning filly Winx who went on to make history over her brilliant career that included a record four Cox Plate victories.
