Hawke's Bay Guineas
The Hawke's Bay Guineas is a major Thoroughbred horse race in New Zealand for three-year-old horses. In 2003 the stake was boosted to $100,000 and the race was moved to the first Saturday in October, meaning that it is run on the same day as the Spring Classic.

- Alamosa, the 2008 Toorak Handicap winner.
- Darci Brahma, the winner of the 2005 T.J. Smith Stakes
- Jimmy Choux, the 2011 Rosehill Guineas winner and 2011 Cox Plate runner-up.
- Sacred Falls, the winner of the 2013 and 2014 Doncaster Handicap and 2014 George Main Stakes.
- Turn Me Loose, winner of the 2015 Seymour Cup, Crystal Mile & Emirates Stakes and the 2016 Futurity Stakes,
In 2005, the race was run in the national record time for 1400 metres of 1:19.97 as Darci Brahma and Dr Green fought out the finish.
