Rosehill enjoys two more top days of racing in mid September with Theo Marks Stakes day and Gloaming Stakes day.

George Main Stakes Day kicks off the Australian Jockey Club’s spring racing carnival kicks in late September with an action packed day of racing headlined by the Group One feature race, the George Main Stakes. The Group Two Stan Fox Stakes showcases talented three-year-olds, with the day renowned among racing enthusiasts for showcasing some of the best emerging talent for major Melbourne and Sydney Spring races.

Spectacular racing in early October, including four Group 1 races will see a big Sydney crowd head to Royal Randwick for day two of the spring racing carnival, Super Saturday.
