With the Golden Eagle headlining changes to the Sydney
spring carnival there are also two more million dollar races added for the two
year-olds and three year-olds.
The new $1 million Bondi Stakes will be run at Royal Randwick for
three-year-olds over a distance of 1600m on 26 October 2019.
The race provides a new spring target for three-year- olds in Sydney and
follows on from races such as the Golden Rose and the Flight Stakes.
The Golden Gift, an 1100m race for two-year-olds which was first run by the ATC
in 2015, will now be run for $1 million prizemoney on Saturday, 9 November
2019.
This race provides a focal point for two-year old racing in the spring, with
the prizemoney on offer enough to ensure that the first and second placegetters
will gain a berth in the Golden Slipper.
Interestingly the 2018 renewal of the race, run on November 24 saw just four
horses line up but in a field rated highly and produced a new Golden Slipper
favourite in Tassort.
