Caulfield Guineas
The Caulfield Guineas is a Group 1 race for 3-year-olds at set weights conditions. It is held annually at Caulfield racecourse in Melbourne and is the feature race on what is known as ‘Caulfield Guineas Day - the first day of the three day Caulfield Carnival. It carries prize money of $1 million and is one of the most prestigious races on the calendar. Other Group 1 races held on the day include the Yalumba Stakes and Toorak Handicap. It is raced over a distance of 1600m and is open to 3-year-olds at set weight conditions.
It was first run in 1881 and upgraded to Group 1 status in 1979. Some brilliant horses have won the race throughout history with notable winners including Lonhro, Redoute’s Choice, Mahogany, Red Anchor, Grosvenor, Sovereign Red, Storm Queen and the great Ajax. Interestingly, no filly has won this race since Surround in 1976.
Pay close attention to lead up races when analysing the Caulfield Guineas. Races that are of a similar distance and conditions have been a good guide over the years, races such as the Stutt Stakes held a fortnight earlier. Carrara won this year’s Stutt Stakes ahead of Extra Zero and Miss With Attitude. While the Caulfield Guineas has also produced 18 Victoria Derby winners.
