How to Bet on the Caulfield Guineas
Win and each-way are the core plays, with the quinella, exacta, trifecta and first four attractive across a big three-year-old field. All-in futures open through the spring as the colts’ path unfolds — the Golden Rose, Run To The Rose, Stan Fox and the Caulfield Guineas Prelude are the key lead-ups to follow. Compare live Caulfield Guineas odds across the leading bookmakers in our toplist below.
Caulfield Guineas Field & Barrier Draw
The Caulfield Guineas is run at set weights over 1600m for three-year-olds and regularly draws a full field of up to 18. The barrier draw is a genuine factor here — the run to the first turn at Caulfield is short, so an inside-to-midfield gate (history favours four-or-inside) is an edge, while the widest draws have to work to cross or settle back.
How to Watch the Caulfield Guineas (Live Stream)
You can watch on Racing.com and Sky Racing, or live stream free through most licensed Australian bookmakers with a funded account. Replays are posted on Racing.com and the MRC channels.
