The Race: The race was first run in 1861 as the A.J.C. Randwick Derby Stakes, referred to as the Australian Derby since the merger of the Australian Jockey Club and Sydney Turf Club in 2011. The first winner was Kyogle. Some of Australasia’s most famous horses have this Derby in Sydney including Phar Lap in 1929 (his 3rd career win) after winning the Rosehill Guineas and then going on to the Craven Plate, the V.R.C. Derby before running 3rd in the 1929 Melbourne Cup and winning the following year. Male horses tend to dominate the race with the very few fillies recording a win.

Best lead-up form: Randwick Guineas, Rosehill Guineas, Autumn Classic, Canterbury Guineas, Australian Guineas.

Track Bias: Rail is usually in the True position for the first week of racing at Randwick during The Championships, going is usually fair when the ground is Good but suits the on pace runners when rain affected. Barriers should be of little importance due the distance involved however only a handful of winners have started from a double figure gate.
