The Randwick Guineas is one of the better three-year-old races of the Sydney autumn carnival and has a history of attracting top quality gallopers who often go on to become stars of the turf.

A race such as the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes at Rosehill in February is a good lead up race to this event. Three-year-olds may then decide to tackle upcoming group races such as the Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes or Group 1 Rosehill Guineas later in the month at Rosehill.

The Autumn Sun (2019), Kementari (2018), Hallowed Crown (2015) & Dissident (2014) have all taken out the Hobartville Stakes & Randwick Guineas double in recent years. Classy gallopers The Autumn Sun (2019) & It's A Dundeel (2013) are the most recent three-year-olds to win the Randwick Guineas & Rosehill Guineas double. Sacred Falls (5th in 2013) finished runner-up to It's A Dundeel, while Tatra (3rd in 2013), ran third in both races.

Some classy three-year-olds have won the Randwick Guineas over the years including It's A Dundeel (2013), Mosheen (2012), Weekend Hussler (2008), Arena (1999), Intergaze (1997), Octagonal (1996) and Veandercross (1992).

The Peter Moody trained Dissident (2014) went on to win multiple Group 1 races the following spring & autumn in Melbourne after winning the Hobartville Stakes & Randwick Guineas, including the Memsie Stakes & CF Orr Stakes at Caulfield and the Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington.

The Autumn Sun (2019) snared the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes over 1400m at Rosehill before scoring an outstanding victory in this event and recent Randwick Guineas winners include Kementari (2018) and Inference (2017).
