Sandown Guineas

The Group 2 Sandown Guineas is a 1600m event held at Caulfield Racecourse under set weights conditions for three-year-old horses, boasting a prize pool of $300,000.

Outside of being run over 2100m in 1968 and 1969, the Sandown Guineas has been run at 1600m every other year and is a final target race for three-year-olds at the end of the spring.

After being classified as a Principal race until 1978, the Sandown Guineas was upgraded to Group 2 level from 1979 onwards.

Due to the change in dates for the Victorian Spring Carnival, late season three-year-olds can target this race at the back end of the year.

Notable winners of the Sandown Guineas include: See You In Heaven (2022), Pretty Brazen (2019), Ringerdingding (2018), Pressday (2010), Scenic Warrior (2000), Over (1999), Special Dane (1997), Navy Seal (1992), Durbridge (1990), So Called (1977) and Taj Rossi (1973).

Recent Sandown Guineas results

• 2022: See You In Heaven claims Sandown Guineas
  Just one filly had won the Group 2 Sandown Guineas (1600m) in the past 16 years and See You In Heaven (+320) has emulated the performance of Pretty Brazen in 2019, taking out the 2022 edition at Caulfield in fine style. Craig Williams settled the daughter of Divine Prophet up on the pace and she found plenty in the straight to deny The Fortune Teller (+380) who was forced to race four wide without cover. Outside of the runner-up, Kings Consort (+1400) got his nose down to nab third place.
• 2021: Blue Army proves too strong in Sandown Guineas
  Blue Army (+1700) jumped from maiden grade to claim the Sandown Guineas at Caulfield. The Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr-trained galloper settled behind the leaders before peeling off their backs to let down with a burst of acceleration. After leading the field up around the home turn, Blazerro (+1900) and Festival Dancer (+200) held on for second and third, respectively.
• 2020: Allibor gets his nose down on the line
  The 2021 edition of the Group 2 Sandown Guineas produced one of the closest finishes we have seen in some time, where Allibor (+340) just got the better of Sweet Reply (+170) at Sandown. The victory was Symon Wilde’s second Sandown Guineas success as a trainer after he co-trained So Swift in 2011 with his father Bill. Both Allibor and Sweet Reply made their runs together on the outside and quickly gathered in the leader, Valanetti (+900), before fighting out the finish in the final strides.
• 2019: Pretty Brazen just holds on
  Pretty Brazen (+250) has snuck up the inside of the leaders to take out the Group 2 Sandown Guineas and just hold on from the fast-finishing Conqueror (+1300). The Tony & Calvin McEvoy-trained filly settled behind the leaders, but as they rolled off the rail in the home straight, she took the run and gained the lead with 200m to go. Luke Currie got everything he could out of the daughter of Brazen Beau, and it was just enough as she fought off the challenge of Conqueror and Heart Of Puissance (+320) late.
