Group races are the highest class of thoroughbred racing in Australia and they are something that all owners, breeders, trainers and jockeys aspire to compete in and win. Not only is there large amounts of prizemoney involved in Group races (referred to as Black Type), there is also a aura of prestige and recognition that goes along with them. Horses that are able to win or place in Black Type races can become very valuable particularly if they are Stallion or Broodmare prospects. Group races can be divided into 4 categories: Group 1 - the highest class with at least $250,000 prizemoney Group 2 - the 2nd highest class with at least $125,000 prizemoney Group 3 - the 3rd highest class with at least $75,000 prizemoney Listed - the 4th highest class with at least $50,000 prizemoney Group races often have name changes due to new sponsorship deals but overall they stay much the same. A Group race may change status at any point in time if a particular race changes up or down in value according to set criteria.
