The Sydney Spring Racing Carnival revolves around the recently formed Australian Turf Club which looks after metropolitan racing in Sydney at Randwick, Rosehill, Warwick Farm & Canterbury.

The Australian Turf Club was established on 7th February 2011 following the merger of the Australian Jockey Club (Randwick & Warwick Farm) and the Sydney Turf Club (Rosehill and Canterbury).

The Missile Stakes is the first group race of the Sydney spring and takes place in early August, before the carnival steps up a notch in September with a huge day of racing at Rosehill, headlined by the $1,000,000 Group 1 Golden Rose over 1400 metres for three-year-old gallopers.

George Main Stakes day kicks off the first day of the Randwick three day spring racing carnival the following week with an action packed race day, headlined by the Group 1 George Main Stakes over 1600 metres.

The Group 2 Stan Fox Stakes headlines a top day of racing at Rosehill on the Saturday following George Main Stakes day and one week before the final day of the spring carnival, which is Epsom Handicap day at Randwick.

Super Saturday at Randwick takes place in early October featuring three Group 1 races, highlighted by the feature mile race of the spring, the Group 1 Epsom Handicap over 1600 metres.

With around $2Million in prizemoney on offer on Epsom Day, equine stars of the turf will be out in force to contest some of the most prestigious Group 1 events on the Sydney racing calendar, including The Metropolitan and the Flight Stakes.

Spring Champion Stakes Day ends the 2013 Sydney spring racing carnival on October 12th following the ATB's decision to push the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes back one week as a stand-alone feature, allowing for a four week gap between it and the Golden Rose.
