The Australian Guineas is the premier mile event for three-year-old gallopers during the autumn racing carnival and always assembles the best 3yo gallopers around at the time. Since its inception in 1986, the Australian Guineas has grwon to become a prestigious event on the racing calendar for three-year-olds.

The Gr3 CS Hayes Stakes for colts & geldings & Gr3 The Vanity Stakes for fillies are widely recognised as the ideal lead-up races to this event. Heart of Dreams (2009) ran fourth in the CS Hayes Stakes prior to winning this event, while Shamrocker (2011) finished fourth in The Vanity Stakes on her way to success in the Australian Guineas.

The 2009 Australian Guiineas produced multiple group winners throughout the rest of the racing year and proved to be a pivotal running of the race for future group race winners.

Set For Fame (2nd in 2010) managed to win the Gr2 Caulfield Sprint the following spring, while Linton (3rd in 2010) was successful in the Gr2 Herbert Power Stakes, and generally horses who perform well in this event tend to go on and win something of note later in their career.

Shamrocker (2011) produced a strong finish to beat the males in this event and recent Australian Guineas winners include Rock Classic (2010) and Heart Of Dreams (2009).
