The Caulfield Guineas is a prestigious Group 1 race run under set weight conditions. This 1600 metre event is hosted by the Melbourne Racing Club, with three year old horses competing for a share of one million dollars in prize money. With a history that stretches back to 1881, this event has attracted a number of fine horses throughout its history.
The Caulfield Guineas is one of the major highlights of the spring racing carnival in Melbourne each year, where it is run on the first day of the three day Caulfield carnival. Over the years, this event has attracted horses who have then gone on to win even bigger events like the Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup.
Some of the most famous winners of the Caulfield Guineas include Lonhro, Redoute’s Choice, Weekend Husler, and Mahogany. This event started its life as a Principal race run over 8 furlongs, becoming a 1600 metre event in 1972 and a Group 1 event in 1979. This race is a good indicator for events later in the season, such as the Cox Plate and the Victoria Darby.
The 2011 Caulfield Guineas was won by Helmet, who broke the race record when he raced past early leader Manawanui. Manawanui held out for second place however, with outsider Huegill coming in at third position.
