History

Originally an early Spring event, it was transferred to the Autumn in 1978, along with the three year old "triple crown", Canterbury Guineas, Rosehill Guineas and Australian Derby. The Canterbury Guineas was subsequently replaced by the Randwick Guineas in 2006, as the first leg of the "triple crown".
