Often overshadowed by it’s Melbourne counterpart, the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival boasts on it’s own a tantalising few weeks of high quality racing. The Carnival begins towards the start of August and now culminates in the running of the $15 million Everest, the richest race in the world on turf, run over 1200m in October at Royal Randwick.
The Sydney Carnival is shared between Royal Randwick and Rosehill Gardens and has a number of Group 1 highlights. The George Main Stakes kick starts the major racing and is a highly regarded Group 1 over 1600m held on September 19th.
The Golden Rose – a prestigious 3-year-old event follows on the 26th September, and the honoured Epsom Handicap is the week following. The Epsom is arguably the biggest race day in Sydney also featuring the Group 1 Metropolitan, the final leg of the princess series, the Group 1 Flight Stakes, as well as the first 2-year-old races of the new season, the Gimcrack and Breeders Stakes.
The Everest rounds out the carnival on October 17. Although still in it’s infancy, the Everest has quickly become one of the most recognisable and talked about races of the year, and is sure to bring about the same sort of buzz in 2020.
