              The Galaxy (GR1)

                                       2024 total prize money: $1,000,000 
                           1st $580,000, 2nd $190,000, 3rd $96,000
The AJC Galaxy is a relatively new race when compared to some of the other time-honoured classics of Sydney racing. First run in at Randwick racecourse in 1972 over 5 ½ furlongs, the Galaxy is one of the premier sprint races of the Sydney autumn carnival.
From 1972 to 2012 the Galaxy was run at Randwick racecourse, the venue was changed to Rosehill racecourse in 2013 after the Australian Jockey Club and the Sydney Turf Club merged to form the Australian Turf Club.
The Galaxy was given Group 1 status in 1984.
Grey Receiver 1981/82 is the only horse to have won the Galaxy on more than one occasion.
The most successful rider of winners in the Galaxy is Peter Cook with three winners:
1973 Kista – 1977 Salaam – 1988 Snippets

 The most successful trainer is shared by Bart Cummings, Lee Freedman and Gai Waterhouse, each having trained two winners:
J. B. Cummings: 1974 Starglow – 1978 Luskin Star 
D. L. Freedman: 1992 Schillaci – 1996 Gold Ace
Ms G. Waterhouse: 2003 Snowland – 2015 Sweet Idea 

 Interesting to note that the legendary trainer T. J. Smith had no luck in the Galaxy, having trained the runner-up on four occasions, Zambari in ’72, Sizzler in ’75, Again in ’78 & Ideal Planet in ’83
