2026 Caulfield Guineas Barrier Draw

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Oct 6

Worth $3million, the Group I MRC Caulfield Guineas (1600m) is run this Saturday featuring a select field of 11 with 10 colts and the lone gelding Blind Raise, who has drawn ideally in gate two.

Blind Raise is two for two this spring, is proven at Caulfield with a pedigree that suggests the mile will suit, so looms as the horse to beat.

The race will be a real test of the Golden Rose form against the Victorians with the winner of that race Warwoven set to make his Melbourne debut from gate six with his regular partner Rachel King to ride.

The Chris Waller trained Tron Bolt gets back to 1600m again after winning the G1 BRC JJ Atkins at two, but will be going back at the start after drawing gate 11.
