CHAIRMAN’S
 WELCOME

 THE AUSTRALIAN TURF CLUB AT OUR HOME HERE
 IN THIS GLOBAL CITY OF SYDNEY WELCOMES
 ALL MEDIA TO ONE OF THE WORLD’S BEST
 THOROUGHBRED RACING CARNIVALS.

 The six-week Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival at Rosehill Gardens and Royal
 Randwick features a suite of some of the most famous and highest rated races in
 international racing.
 From the iconic Longines Golden Slipper Stakes and Carnival at Rosehill Gardens,
 to Australia’s highest rated race for the past three years in the Longines Queen
 Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Randwick, the eyes of the racing world focus on Sydney
 this March and April.
 With Australia’s best horses, jockeys and trainers, the Sydney Autumn Racing
 Carnival is attracting competitors from the Northern Hemisphere, including some
 of the biggest stables in the UK and Japan, along with the great strength of New
 Zealand’s renowned racing industry.
 More than $37 million in prizemoney and trophies, including 18 Group 1 races
 amongst 48 Group or Listed events, will be won this Autumn.
 Week in and week out you will be the witness to millions of people across Australia
 and beyond as the stories of these horses and their connections take centre stage.
 Added to this great action on the track comes a host of fashion, food and
 entertainment that makes the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival one of Australia’s
 premier social, sporting and entertainment destinations.
 We are thrilled this year to host Sydney’s first Pink Raceday on Chandon Ladies
 Day at Rosehill Gardens, featuring the Pink Fashion Lunch supporting the McGrath
 Foundation. We encourage all racegoers to wear a touch of pink on this day.
 Music legend Jon Stevens will rock Longines Golden Slipper Day as Western Sydney
 comes together for one of its biggest events of the year, while Hot Dub Time Machine
 features on The Championships Day 2 - Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day.
 At Rosehill Gardens we re-introduce the Golden Palms, and at Royal Randwick, a
 new French-inspired space Le Petit Pony Club.
 Racegoers will have the opportunity to shine at the Fashion Chute and the
 prestigious Longines Prize for Elegance competitions across both tracks.
 And further into this guide you will see a host of corporate hospitality spaces,
 Members Reserve areas and a choice of general admission precincts to suit all tastes
 for the ultimate raceday experience.
 We look forward to seeing you trackside.

     As one of five Group 1s on Longines Golden Slipper Day, the
     Ranvet Stakes often provides its own piece of racing theatre.
                                                                                                                          NOTES
     Through the years this race has involved protests, big upsets and
     revered clashes.
