Caulfield Guineas

The Caulfield Guineas is a Melbourne Racing Club Group 1 Thoroughbred horse race held over 1600 metres at set weights for three-year-old horses at Caulfield Racecourse, Melbourne, Australia. Total prize money is A$3 million.
The race is held annually on the second Saturday in October and forms part of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival at Caulfield Racecourse. The Guineas, as the race is known, starts the three-day Caulfield carnival; the G1 Toorak Handicap, G1 Caulfield Stakes and the fillies equivalent, the G1 The Thousand Guineas was also historically held on Guineas day, before moving to the first Saturday after the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

History

During World War II the race was run at Flemington Racecourse.
Regarded as one of the blue riband events for three-year-olds, the Guineas is regarded as a stallion making race for the winner, and has been won by a host of star gallopers who have gone on to multiple G1 success. These included Starspangledbanner, Whobegotyou, Weekend Hussler. Earlier winners include celebrated champion sires Lonhro and Redoute's Choice. Looking further back, other outstanding winners include Mahogany, Red Anchor, champion sprinter Manikato, 2YO Triple Crown winner Luskin Star, Surround, Vain, Storm Queen, the inaugural Australian Racing Hall of Fame inductee Tulloch, and Ajax.
