The 2012 Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival is shaping up to be the biggest and best celebration of Queensland racing in history thanks to a unique initiative announced by the Brisbane Racing Club (BRC) on Wednesday.
In an attempt to attract the premier racehorses from all…
The Doomben 10,000 is a Group 1 weight-for-age race held during the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival in May. It is raced over a sprinting distance of 1350m and offers $500,000 in prize money.
The Group 1 BTC Cup, held two weeks earlier, is the best lead up race to the Doomben 10,000. Apache Cat won the BTC Cup / Doomben 10,000 double in 2008 and finished second in the BTC Cup in 2009 prior to his Doomben 10,000 victory.
The 2012 Doomben 10,000 will be run on Saturday the 26th of May 2012.

First won by Wallen in 1933, the race was originally named the T. M Ahearn Memorial however the name was changed when 10,000 pounds became the set amount of prize money. At this time, the Doomben 10,000 was the richest sprint race in Australia. The event was also won by the magnificent Manikato in 1979.
Originally a 6 furlong (approx 1200m) race, the distance for the Doomben 10,000 was changed to 7 furlongs (1400m) in 1942 and remained so until 1973 when it became a 1350m race.
