South Australia’s four Group 1 races will have their prize money doubled to $1 million this year following a sponsorship deal with wagering firm Sportsbet.
The Goodwood and the Robert Sangster Stakes will return to the purse levels reached in 2017 and 2018 while the Australasian Oaks and South Australian Derby will offer $1 million for the first time.

South Australia’s premier sprint race, The Goodwood, will close out three weeks of Group 1 racing on May 11.
