Winx Guineas (Sunshine Coast Guineas) News
The Sunshine Coast Guineas – now known as the Winx Guineas in honour of the event’s 2015 champion Winx – is a Group 3 race held annually at Sunshine Coast Racecourse. The Sunshine Coast Guineas brings up the tail end of the Queensland Winter Racing Carnival and represents some of the last black-type racing in Queensland before the break for the winter.
2025 Winx Guineas Results
- 1st: #5 The Three Hundred ($11)
- 2nd: #10 Ramp It Up
- 3rd: #3 Apuntar
The Three Hundred ($11) delivered a blistering front-running performance to head the 2025 Winx Guineas results at the Sunshine Coast on Saturday, showcasing brilliant gate speed and sustained pace under jockey Angela Jones.
Trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, the gelding jumped cleanly, an improvement from previous starts where he was slow away, and immediately took control of the race, leading from start to finish in dominant fashion.
Ramp It Up closed well for second, while Apuntar stuck on bravely for third after sitting outside the leader. Pre-race tactics were key, with the stable instructing Jones to keep him warm and push forward if he jumped well, which proved decisive.
The Three Hundred had shown flashes of talent in earlier runs but struggled when settling back in the field, making this aggressive strategy a turning point. With this breakthrough stakes win, the galloper is now likely to be aimed at further spring features, with connections excited about his potential and maturity.

The Winx Guineas is traditionally held on Caloundra Cup Day, alongside the Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m) and the Listed Glasshouse Handicap (1400m).
Offering $300,000 in prize money as of 2023, the Winx Guineas is a mile event raced over 1600m. Entrants tend to be the three-year-old horses at the end of their winter campaign looking to collect one last black-type trophy before resting for the winter.
The Group 2 Queensland Guineas held at Eagle Farm is considered a solid lead up race, along with the Listed Daybreak Lover Stakes (1400m).

The 2020 Winx Guineas also ran as the feature race at Caloundra without a 2020 edition of the Caloundra Cup taking place due to COVID-19 and a number of restrictions and reductions to the entire Queensland Winter Racing Carnival. It was also worth a reduced $125,000 in prize money before enjoying a prize money boost the following season.
The 2023 Winx Guineas form was franked the following winter with the winner, Knight’s Choice, running a nice second in the 2024 Group 2 $1.2 million The Q22 in Brisbane.
The 2025 Winx Guineas ran on Saturday July 5, 2025 at the Sunshine Coast in Queensland on Caloundra Cup Day and was won in a stylish upset by The Three Hundred ($11) from the Waterhouse/Bott yard.Â

2025 Winx Guineas Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Winx Guineas 2025 Tips on the Sunshine Coast feature this winter racing season.
- To Win: #7 Barbray ($9.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW
We’re taking a bold stance in the Winx Guineas, opposing the in-form favourite and instead siding with the progressive Barbray (5). This promising Chris Waller-trained son of Zoustar is drawn perfectly and racing exceptionally well. He showed his class earlier this prep with back-to-back wins in easier grades, defying big weights, before a tenacious fourth last start in a Randwick BM72, beaten just 1.2 lengths by Rotagilla on June 21. With proven form over the 1600m (5:2-0-1) and a mile win already under his belt, he can stay within striking distance from his favourable gate and offer genuine value in the finish.
2025 Winx Guineas Field
The Sunshine Coast Guineas field features 18 runners and attracts a host of end-of-winter three-year-olds coming off lead-up races held during the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival.
Gallopers may have had a lead-up run in a race like the Queensland Guineas, or the fillies in the Sunshine Coast Guineas field may be graduates out of the Group 2 Dane Ripper Stakes (1400m) from Stradbroke Handicap Day.
The official Sunshine Coast Winx Guineas 2025 Field & Barriers are released by Racing Queensland on the Wednesday of race week and will be listed below.
The 2025 Winx Guineas final field features a cracking line-up of three-year-olds led in betting by the flying Mister Bianco chasing a fourth win on the trot.

Sunshine Coast Guineas History
The Sunshine Coast Guineas ran as a listed race for the last time in 2012, as it was upgraded to Group 3 shortly after and ran as such for the 2013 edition. Prior to 2006, the race was unlisted; improving fields and its standing as a decent mile event led to the decision to upgrade its standing.
Notable winners of the Sunshine Coast Guineas include Shenzhou Steeds (2011), Diamondsondinside (2006) and Sunset (2000).
Of course, the standout Sunshine Coast winner in history is Winx (2015) who would go on to become Australian racing’s greatest horse.
The 2018 Sunshine Coast Guineas winner The Bostonian also franked the form of the race the following winter in Brisbane winning the Group 1 Doomben 10,0000 / Kingsford-Smith Cup double. Sunshine Guineas results since 2000 are listed below.
In 2020 the Sunshine Coast Guineas was renamed the Winx Guineas to honour the 2015 winning filly Winx who went on to make history over her brilliant career that included a record four Cox Plate victories.
