The Gold Coast Guineas is held away from the Metropolitan area of Brisbane and takes place on the Gold Coast which is home to the Magic Millions carnival in January. The Gold Coast racecourse also hosts the Gr2 Hollindale Stakes on the same day.

The Guineas is a set weights event for three-year-olds that favours the better performed gallopers in the race. It will typically attract mainly local types from around the Brisbane and Gold Coast area who may then go on to a race like the Gr3 Fred Best Classic (1200m) in two weeks time at Doomben. Leapfrog (2nd in 2009) went on to finish runner-up in the Fred Best Classic at his next start.

Beethog (2010) won a Class 1 race at this track on his way to winning this event and recent winners of the Gold Coast Guineas include Chakvetadze (2009) and El Cambio (2008).

2010 Gold Coast Guineas: The pace was on up front which suited horses coming from behind and Beethog came with a well timed run to round up the leaders inside the final 50m to win in slow conditions. Temple Of Doom raced behind the pace and led momentarily before holding on to second place from the fast finishing Fifteen Carat.
