The Invitation.

How to bet on The Invitation with Bet Right

The Invitation is an exciting Group 2 race held at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney on the last Saturday of October. It is a unique event, featuring an invite-only field of elite fillies and mares. First run in 2021, it has quickly become a highlight of the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival, offering a $2 million prize pool, with the winner earning a hefty $1 million. The race is now being promoted as a marquee grand final for mares and fillies, attracting top competitors from across Australia. With 12 runners tackling a 1400m course, the event is widely anticipated.

As a relatively new race, The Invitation has already established itself as a significant event for fillies and mares. Success in this race often hinges on horses that perform well at Randwick and are proven over 1400 metres or longer distances. Horses that have excelled in Group 1 races are typically the strongest contenders. The barrier draw and speed map can be crucial in determining race outcomes, with inside barriers generally favourable on this track. The race not only boosts the profile of top mares and fillies but also adds a fresh and exciting element to the already rich Sydney Spring Race Carnival, making it a key event for both spectators and punters alike.
