The Thousand Guineas (1600m) for the fillies was previously held on the same day but since 2023 runs in mid to late November on its own end-of-spring feature race meeting.
In 2024 Caulfield Guineas Day took place the weekend before Sydney’s $20 million The Everest race.
As a set weights race, colts and geldings are required to carry 55.5kg while fillies must carry 53.5kg. The Caulfield Guineas is regarded as a good lead-up race to the Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley and the last Guineas graduate to back-up and win the weight-for-age classic was Shamus Award (3rd) in 2013.
The 2021 Caulfield Guineas form was franked with the winner Anamoe going on to run a devastatingly close second in that year’s Cox Plate results before returning the following autumn to win the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) in 2022.
The 2022 Caulfield Guineas winner Golden Mile franked the form winning the Group 2 Callander-Presnell next start.
The 2023 Caulfield Guineas form was franked by the runner-up Veight who returned in the autumn of 2024 to run second in the Australian Guineas before winning the George Ryder Stakes in Sydney against the older horses.
The latest edition of the Caulfield Guineas took place on Saturday October 12, 2024 and was won by a neck in an upset from the Chris Waller-trained Written Tycoon colt Private Life ($13).

2024 Caulfield Guineas Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Caulfield Guineas 2024 Tips for the three-year-old milers to back and sack in this season’s $3 million classic.
- To Win: #1 Broadsiding ($1.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW
No value in tipping Broadsiding to win the Caulfield Guineas but finding it hard to tip against the proven and deserving odds-on elect from the Godolphin stable. He is already a two-time Group 1 winner at the mile distance having won both the Champagne Stakes in Syndey and Brisbane’s J.J. Atkins as a two-year-old. Fresh he made history as the inaugural first-up champ in the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m). Presents fitter for that run and will appreciate getting back up to 1600m. James McDonald rides. Only query is the Melbourne way of racing with this being his first Victorian run since a fourth at Ballarat on debut. Too good to go past.
