Contested in Sydney on the same day as Melbourne’s Victoria Derby Day at Flemington Racecourse – after which RV announced the official Melbourne Cup field and barriers – Golden Eagle Race Day is headlined by the $10 million The Golden Eagle for four-year-olds.
It is accompanied on the card by the $3 million Russell Balding Stakes (1300m) which was previously known as the Winners Stakes and renamed each season in honour of the previous year’s The Everest winner before 2024.
Other Golden Eagle Day support acts include the $500,000 The Four Pillars (1500m) taking place for the first time in 2021 and the now Group 3 $750,000 Rosehill Gold Cup.
The Rosehill Gold Cup is run over 2000m under quality handicap conditions and is open to horses aged three-years-old and above. There is also an additional $500,000 bonus attached to the Rosehill Gold Cup from earlier Sydney Spring Racing Carnival races contested on two Saturdays across October / November – including a fortnight prior on The Everest Day.
The $500,000 Rosehill Gold Cup bonus is available to any horse that wins the event on the back of a lead-up win in either the Group 1 The Metropolitan (2400m) or the Group 2 Hill Stakes (1800m), as well as either the Group 3 Craven Plate (2000m), or the St Leger (2600m).
In 2021 Think It Over completed the Hill Stakes – Craven Plate – Rosehill Gold Cup treble to take out the million-dollar bonus.
Racing NSW also have a $100,000 bonus up for grabs for any galloper that contested, but did not win, any of the above four races before winning the Rosehill Gold Cup.
The 2000m distance of the Rosehill Gold Cup makes it an interesting target for both middle-distance types and more dour stayers making for an open field and betting market.
The 2024 edition of the Rosehill Gold Cup ran on Saturday November 2, 2024 holding Group 3 status for the first time and was won by the Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald-trained favourite Fawkner Park ($4.60F).
