Moët & Chandon Spring Champion Stakes Day 2026

Spring racing hits its stride at Royal Randwick this Saturday as the Everest Carnival rolls on with Moët & Chandon Spring Champion Stakes Day. The headline act is the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes, where Australia’s most promising three-year-old stayers line up for a shot at Group 1 glory, and possibly a hint of who’ll dominate the big staying races in seasons to come.

Beyond the track, the whole course comes alive. Wander between themed precincts and pop-up bars, grab a bite from the food outlets, and catch the fashion that turns every spring raceday into a runway. If you’d rather not hunt for a spot, Trackside Reserve (presented by Asahi Super Dry) gives you a guaranteed seat no matter when you arrive, and premium dining and hospitality packages are available for those wanting to make a proper occasion of it.

When the last race is run, stay on, because the day finishes with a live music performance.

Getting there is easy: free infield parking is available, and Royal Randwick is well serviced by light rail and buses.
