Group RACING is your online source of horse racing group races information

Australian Group Races are the highest class of thoroughbred race in Australian racing. The most recognised group races in Australia are the Melbourne Cup, Caulfield Cup, Golden slipper and WS Cox Plate, which are all Group 1 races.

Group races total over 540+ races each year which works out around 2-3% of total races held each season in Australia.

Group races are divided into 4 categories;
Group 1 - at least $250,000 prizemoney - 60+ races per season
Group 2 - at least $125,000 prizemoney - 80+ races per season
Group 3 - at least $75,000 prizemoney - 110+ races per season
Listed - at least $50,000 prizemoney - 280+ races per season

The Australian horse racing season runs from August to July each year and we have listed all the Group 1 and Group 2 races on the racing calendar.

The Queen Of The Turf Stakes is a Group 1 Australian thoroughbred horse race for fillies and mares aged three years old and over. It is a weight for age race, run over a distance of 1500 metres at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, Sydney in April.

Falling on the Golden Slipper Day, one of the feature race days in the world famous Sydney Autumn Carnival, the Queen Of The Turf Stakes takes place on a day when an astounding $7 million is available in prize money. The dominant three-year-old fillies who have performed well over the last season usually claim victory at the Queen Of The Turf Stakes, as the weight-for-age conditions gives the higher quality female runners an advantage.

A great lead-up to the Queen Of The Turf Stakes is the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Classic (1500m). Held a fortnight before the Queen Of The Turf Stakes, it is another top quality race held over the same course and distance, and many fillies and mares competing at the Autumn Carnival will contest both races.

The Queen Of The Turf Stakes has slowly made its way up in status from being just a principle race in 1972 to becoming a Listed race in 1979. In 1985 it was elevated to Group 3 status in 1985 and shortly afterwards became a Group 2 race in 1991. Eventually in 2005 it was granted Group 1 status.

Although the race was held at Canterbury Racecourse in 2008, it has remained at Rosehill for its entire duration since 1972 when Refulgence won in 1 minute 30 seconds.
