🏇 Big Australian Races This Saturday — 7 February 2026
If you’re a fan of thrilling thoroughbred action, Saturday, 7 February 2026 delivers one of the first standout race days of the Australian summer racing calendar — highlighted by premier events at Royal Randwick and Caulfield that are sure to capture attention across the nation.
🌟 Inglis Millennium Day — Royal Randwick (NSW)
This Saturday sees one of Sydney’s premier early-season race days at Royal Randwick Racecourse, with Inglis Millennium Day serving up top-tier juvenile racing and stakes action.
The feature race on the card is the $2,000,000 Inglis Millennium — a restricted listed contest over 1100m that attracts some of the most promising two-year-olds in the country.
Alongside the Inglis Millennium you’ll also see other high-profile races including the Group 3 Kia Ora Eskimo Prince Stakes over 1200m — offering both prestige and stakes money early in the season.
Racegoers in Sydney can expect a lively atmosphere, with competitive fields and plenty of spring racing buzz as trainers begin to target bigger autumn features later in the calendar.
📍 Caulfield Racing Carnival Continues (VIC)
Over in Melbourne, Caulfield Racecourse also hosts an important summer meeting this Saturday as part of the build-up to the autumn feature season.
The card includes key lead-up races such as the Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) and Blue Diamond Prelude (F) — important stepping stones toward the prestigious Blue Diamond Stakes later in February.
These prelude races often showcase emerging stars and are pivotal in shaping market expectations for one of Victoria’s biggest juvenile events.
🏇 Blue Diamond Prelude (C&G) – Caulfield
This Group 3 contest attracts the best 2-year-old colts and geldings gearing up for autumn big-race targets. The market currently shows a clear favourite, but there are several promising types at bigger odds.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: GUEST HOUSE
💰 Odds: ~$1.95
⚡ “The early favourite in betting markets after an eye-catching debut and strong trial form. Proven ability at Caulfield conditions and a well-credentialled stable make him the standout pick here.”
💎 Best Value Bet: ETERNAL WARRIOR
💰 Odds: ~$6.5
💥 “A contender with solid first-up form and scope to improve. While second favourite in early markets, his racing pattern suggests he can hit the board at a better price if he runs to potential.”
🐎 Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) – Caulfield
Blue Diamond Prelude (Colts & Geldings) is a high-speed Caulfield sprint that tests the best two-year-old colts and geldings on the road to the Blue Diamond Stakes. Early pace and barrier position are key, with the race often favouring juveniles that can settle near the speed and handle pressure, while limited exposed form means late market moves and trial performance are especially important.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: JACARANDA
💰 Odds: ~$3.9
⚡ “She’s shown sharp early speed, professionalism for a two-year-old, and profiles ideally for a fast-run Caulfield sprint where position and composure matter. If she jumps cleanly and holds a forward spot, she’ll take plenty of catching.”
💎 Best Value Bet: STREISAND
💰 Odds: ~$4.4
💥 “Streisand offers genuine value against the favourite. While not as short in the market, she has shown enough in trials and early runs to suggest she can settle, finish off strongly, and capitalise if the leaders overdo it. In a race where margins are tight, she profiles as a smart each-way play.“
🏇 Inglis Millennium – Randwick R7
The Inglis Millennium is a $2 million restricted juvenile sprint for Inglis-purchased two-year-olds over 1100 metres at Royal Randwick. It attracts a full and competitive field of debut winners and early starters, making early race speed and composure out of the gates key factors as the youngsters negotiate a big purse and limited exposed form.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: FIREBALL
💰 Odds: ~$5.75
⚡ “A Chris Waller-trained colt who showed a strong win on debut and is well-placed by draw and jockey booking, giving him a genuine chance to go close in this juvenile sprint.”
💎 Best Value Bet: WHERE’S THE CIRCUS
💰 Odds: ~$26
💥 “Another last-start winner who profiles as a competitive each-way option in an open race where margins are likely to be tight.“
🏇 Eskimo Prince Stakes – Randwick R8
Eskimo Prince Stakes is an early-season Group race over 1200m at Randwick that brings together some of the most promising three-year-olds resuming from spells. With many runners using this as a launchpad into the autumn carnival, race fitness and tactical speed are key, while Randwick’s long straight rewards horses that can settle cleanly and finish strongly under pressure.
🔥 Best to Back Tip: TEMPTED
💰 Odds: ~$1.8
⚡ “Strong favourite in the early markets and resuming after a spell with good form at stakes level. Likely to handle the 1200m well and has been well-supported by punters leading into race day.”
💎 Best Value Bet: NAPOLEONIC
💰 Odds: ~$4
💥 “Solid second line in betting and can hit the board at a better price if Tempted doesn’t run away with it. Often races on or near the speed and could prove strong late if the favourite falters.“
