The Sydney Spring Racing Carnival takes place from August to October each year and revolves around the Australian Turf Club, which administers metropolitan racing at Randwick, Rosehill, Warwick Farm & Canterbury racecourses in Sydney.

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 the week after at Rosehill, while Super Saturday at Randwick takes place in early October. featuring three Group 1 races, including the feature mile race of the spring, the Group 1 Epsom Handicap over 1600 metres.

With around $2 Million in prize money on offer on Epsom Day, equine stars of the turf step out in force to contest prestigious Group 1 events, including The Metropolitan and the Flight Stakes.

Spring Champion Stakes Day ends the 2019 Sydney spring racing carnival in mid October with the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes for three-year-olds the feature race of the day.
