The Kosciuszko is one of the recent additions to the Sydney Spring Racing Calendar, the Special Conditions feature held on The Everest Day at Royal Randwick each October.

Contested for the first time in 2018, The Kosciuszko race is open only to NSW or ACT Country-trained horses and is the most lucrative of its kind offering $1.3 million in prize money.

Taking place in Sydney on the same day Melbourne hosts the time-honoured Caulfield Cup, The Kosciuszko is a set weights plus penalties event that is now a hugely popular target for the provincially-trained sprints from around the state.

Members of the public are able to purchase tickets in The Kosciuzko Sweep that gives them a chance to select an eligible horse to take part in the event, the field size for which increased from 12 to 14 in 2019.

Winning ticket holders from the subsequent The Kosciuzko Calcutta Draw, which harks back to the traditions of bush racing, then have the opportunity to part-own a horse in the race that is selected at random.

The 2021 The Kosciuszko takes place at Randwick on Saturday October 16, 2021 as the key support act to the $15 million The Everest.

The Kosciuzko History

The Kosciuzko was first run in 2018 and won by Belflyer who failed in his attempt at back-to-back wins, in the way super sprinter Redzel (2017, 2018) won the opening two editions of The Everest, finishing dead last (14th) in his title defense behind Handle The Truth in 2019.

In 2020 It’s Me saluted for the punters as the $2 favourite in The Kosciuszko results.
