History

The winner of this race automatically qualifies for a berth in the Australian Derby and Doncaster Mile[1]

This race is the first leg of the Australian Three Year Old "Triple Crown" consisting of the Rosehill Guineas (2000 metres) and Australian Derby (2400 metres).[1]

Name

This race replaced the former event Canterbury Guineas, which was discontinued after the 2005 running after the Australian Jockey Club and the Sydney Turf Club implemented major program changes streamlining the major races into the race calendar.[2] As the Canterbury Guineas the race was originally run in the spring in early September but after 1978 the race was run early in the autumn as prep race for the rich Sydney carnival.
