Randwick Guineas



     Randwick Guineas (GR1)
                                2024 total prize money: $1,000,000 
                      1st $580,000, 2nd $190,000, 3rd $96,000
Although the Randwick Guineas is a relatively new event on the Australian racing calendar, its predecessor, the Canterbury Guineas had a long history dating back to its first running in 1935.

The Canterbury Guineas was discontinued in 2005 due to changes by the ATC & STC that saw the introduction in 2006 of a new three year old Group one event, the Randwick Guineas.

Although the 1600m Randwick Guineas is 300m shorter than the Canterbury Guineas, it is still considered the first leg of the 3YO “Triple Crown”, with the Rosehill Guineas (2000m) being the second leg and the Australian Derby (2400m) completing the three race series.
The 2013 Randwick Guineas winner, It’s A Dundeel went on to win the Rosehill Guineas and Australian Derby, thus becoming the first winner of the new “Triple Crown”
