2021 Australian Guineas Horses

1. OLE KIRK $8.50
The Caulfield Guineas (1600m) winner from the spring battled into 8th position in the Futurity Stakes (1400m). There is some school of thought that he was caught in the slow lane but the question remains as to whether or not he has come back this preparation. Third up in the 2020 spring he took out the Golden Rose (1400m) but after drawing wide in barrier 15, the close relation of All Too Hard and Black Caviar might be worth risking.

2. TAGALOA $4
The 2020 Blue Diamond (1200m) winner took out the CS Hayes Stakes (1400m) in dominant fashion and that race is the tried and true lead up to the Australian Guineas. He settled handy that day and held off the challenge from Aysar, hitting the line strongly. That race rated through the roof and he went more that 14 lengths faster than standard after a solid tempo was set early on. A slight query is the barrier, while he just needs to handle the Flemington 1600m to take this out.

3. AYSAR $8
It is hard to knock Aysar despite his bridesmaid status. The Tom Dabernig and Ben Hayes-trained galloper has finished runner-up at his past four. He missed out in the Caulfield Guineas behind Ole Kirk last spring and was runner-up to the eventual Oakleigh Plate (1100m) winner, Portland Sky, when resuming in the Manfred Stakes (1200m). He was outkicked by Tagaloa recently but is a first four contender after drawing barrier 2.

AUSTRALIAN GUINEAS HISTORY

The country’s best fillies, colts and geldings converge on the Australian Guineas, a set-weights race for three-year-olds that is held at Flemington during the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.

The race often sees a future (or current) star racehorse emerge victorious.

The Australian Guineas is clearly the star attraction on the Flemington program with two support races – Group 3 TAB Rewards Stakes (1400m) and Group 3 Frances Tressady Stakes (1400m).

Taking place on the first day of the two-day VRC Autumn Carnival, the Australian Guineas takes place one week prior to Super Saturday where the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) and the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) are the highlights of the Flemington raceday.

From 1998 to 2000, the Australian Guineas was run over 2000m, and in 2007 the race was transferred to Caulfield Racecourse while track reconstruction took place at Flemington.

David Hayes and Lee Freedman have trained three Australian Guineas winners each; Hayes prepared King’s High (1989), Zabeel (1990) and Miss Finland (2007) while Freedman trained Mahogany (1994), Flying Spur (1996) and Mr Murphy (2001).

Favourites have claimed 11 of the past 30 Australian Guineas, but they have a terrible record in recent years with Light Fantastic the last favourite to win the race in 2008. Since then, eight favourites have gone under with all of them unplaced and only three finishing in the top five.

The Group 3 CS Hayes Stakes (1400m) for colts & geldings and the Group 3 The Vanity (1400m) for fillies are widely recognised as the ideal lead-up races to this event.

First run in 1986, the Australian Guineas was won by True Version when the race held Group 3 status before being elevated to a Group 1 the following year.

Other former winners of the Australian Guineas include Military Plume (1987), Zabeel (1990), Triscay (1991), Mahogany (1994), Dash For Cash (2002), Reset (2004), Apache Cat (2006), Miss Finland (2007), Mosheen (2012), Shamus Award (2014), Wandjina (2015), Hey Doc (2017) and Grunt (2018).
