AJC The Shorts (GR2)
The Shorts is a 1100 metre Group 2 Set Weights + penalties race that is run in September at Randwick racecourse in New South Wales during the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival.
2025 total prize money: $1,000,000
1st $580,000, 2nd $190,000, 3rd $96,000
[Race Record: 1:01.83 – Redzel 2017]
The first running of The Shorts took place at Randwick Racecourse over a sprint distance of six furlongs on Thursday, September 5th 1867.
Along with the Great Metropolitan Stakes, The Shorts was run on the second day of the Sydney Spring Carnival and was won by Mr William McEvilly’s four-year-old bay mare, Gunilda.
The Shorts, along with the Metropolitan Handicap, was traditionally run in early October on the Monday of the New South Wales Labour Day long weekend.
In 2011 The Shorts was moved from Metropolitan day to George Main Stakes day where it stayed until 2023 when the George Main (now the King Charles III Stakes) was moved forward from September to October.
The Shorts is one of Australian racing’s oldest sprint races and although it has always been run as part of the Sydney Spring Carnival, it has always been considered a minor event, and therefore, has not attracted the very best sprinters throughout its history.
Six horses have won The Shorts on more than one occasion:
Gigandra 1912, 1914/15 – Greenstead 1919 & 1921 – Calmness 1926/27
Winnipeg 1941 & 1944 – Nagpuni 1953/54 – King’s Favourite 1976/77
The most successful trainer of winners of The Shorts is the legendary Tommy Smith, who saddled-up the winner on six occasions:
1960 Merry Polly – 1962 Rush Bye – 1966 Redcap
1971 Welsh Prince – 1979 Biscawong – 1988 Potter McQueen
Riding honours rest with another legend, in Billy Cook, who was aboard the winner on six occasions:
1929 Figure – 1930 Panola – 1931 High Disdain
1936 Some Boy – 1953 & 54 Nagpuni
