Caulfield Racecourse Tips & Latest News
Few Australian racecourses pack as much elite racing into the calendar as Caulfield, with the Melbourne venue playing a central role in both the spring and autumn carnivals while also staging metropolitan racing across its main course and Caulfield Heath circuit.
Spring provides the first major concentration of feature racing, beginning with the Memsie Stakes before the Underwood Stakes and Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes lead into the heart of the carnival. The redevelopment of The Valley also brings the Group 1 Manikato Stakes to Caulfield on September 27 during the 2026/27 season.
The Caulfield Guineas on October 10 opens the traditional Caulfield Cup Carnival before the Caulfield Cup on October 17, while the main course then undergoes a major resurfacing project that keeps both Caulfield and Caulfield Heath out of action for several months. Racing resumes at Caulfield on January 30, 2027.
The autumn program builds towards Blue Diamond Stakes Day on February 20 before another transferred Moonee Valley feature arrives with the William Reid Stakes on March 20. Caulfield and the Heath then continue racing through autumn and winter, culminating in the Caulfield Season Finale on July 31.
Whether you're looking for race dates, betting tips, form guides, fields, race previews, results or the latest horse racing news, you'll find everything you need for both Caulfield and Caulfield Heath race meetings right here.
