The Nivison

The Nivison is a Group 3 race held at Rosehill racecourse under set weights and penalty conditions for mares aged four-years-old and older, with the race boasting a prize pool of $250,000.

Since the inaugural running of The Nivison, the race has been run at Randwick for most of the editions, but in 2001 and 2004 the race was held at Warwick Farm. The 2023 edition of The Nivison will be run at Rosehill for the very first time.

After being classified as Listed race from 1997-2012, The Nivison was upgraded to a Group 3 from 2005 onwards.

Now that The Nivison has been moved to earlier in the spring, mares can use this race as a lead up run for The Invitation, if they gain a start in the $2 million 1400m race two weeks later.

Notable winners of The Nivison include Madam Rogue (2019), Avoid Lightning (2014), Balmont (2011), Madame Pedrille (2009), Razor Blade (1998), Amber (1996) and Aunty Mary (1994).
