Doncaster Handicap

Home > Races > Group 1 Races > Doncaster Handicap

The Group 1 Doncaster Handicap is a 1600m handicap race for the best sprinters in the country. Held at Randwick Racecourse during the Autumn Racing Carnival, the race is also known as the Doncaster Mile and is regarded as the equivalent of the spring Epsom Handicap.

The race offers $1.5 million in prize money and is open to all horses aged 3 years and over. Held on the same day as the AJC Australian Oaks, TJ Smith Stakes and AJC Sires Produce Stakes, the Doncaster Handicap is the highlight of the autumn carnival.

Doncaster Handicap History:

First held in 1865 when Dundee took out the winning title, the Doncaster Handicap?s fastest race time (since 1930) was recorded in 1979 by Belmura Lad with 1:33.7. The slowest race time recorded was 1:45.25 by Tuhitarata in 1942. The Doncaster and Epsom Handicap double is a challenge which has only been managed by one horse. Super Impose won the double twice in 1990 and 1991.

The ideal lead-up race is the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) held two weeks earlier. This race has been won by Haradasun in 2007, Racing To Win in 2006 and Grand Armee placed second in 2003. Many four year old horses have also had a great record at winning the Doncaster Handicap.
