The Championships are Australia’s equivalent of the Breeders’ Cup and they will be staged at Randwick racecourse in Sydney on Friday night 5 April and Friday night 12 April (US date/time).
Just as America's season-defining event takes place in the Fall, a couple of months before the season concludes, The Championships fall within Sydney's "Autumn Racing Carnival" a few months before the end of the Southern Hemisphere racing season. The Championships is a two-day event staged a week apart and there is $25 million in prizemoney up for grabs.
International racing fans will be keen to see if Australia's champion miler Mr Brightside can three-peat in the Group 1 Doncaster Mile on Day 1 of The Championships.
The Racing Highlights on Day 1 (5 April) are;
- Group 1 $4m The Star Doncaster Mile
- Group 1 $3m TJ Smith Stakes
- Group 1 $2m Australian Derby
- Group 1 $1m Inglis Sires'
- $1m Newhaven Park Country Championships Final
The Racing Highlights on Day 2 (12 April) are;
- Group 1 $5m Queen Elizabeth Stakes
- Group 1 $2m Schweppes Sydney Cup
- Group 1 $1m Australian Oaks
- Group 1 $1m Queen of the Turf Stakes
- Group 2 $1m Arrowfield 3YO Sprint
- Group 2 $1m Percy Sykes Stakes
