The Adelaide Racing Carnival takes place at Morphettville racecourse in Adelaide each year and the South Australia Jockey Club's major carnival runs through March and May.
Morphettville hosts the Gr2 $400,000 Adelaide Cup(3200m) in March on the Monday of the Labour day weekend, and two Group 1 feature races less than two weeks later on the Saturday, which are the $300,000 Australasian Oaks(2000m) for 3yo Fillies and the $300,000 Robert Sangster Stakes(1200m) for fillies and mares.
The May carnival is also held at Morphettville and features two Group 1 events, the $300,000 South Australian Derby(2500) and $300,000 Goodwood Handicap(1200m).
