The Doomben 10,000 – currently sponsored by Ladbrokes.com.au – is a Group 1 weight-for-age race held during the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival in May each year. It was previously raced over a middle distance sprint of 1350m, but from 2017 it has been contested over 1200m and kicks off Group 1 racing in Queensland for the season.

Offering a lucrative $1,500,000 in prize money as of 2023, the Doomben 10,000 is one of Queensland’s richest races and the weight-for-age event is now held two weeks before the Group 1 BTC Cup (1300m) – now known as the Kingsford Smith Cup.

The Group 1 BTC Cup, previously run a fortnight before, was the best lead up race to the Doomben 10,000 and prior to the scheduled Brisbane Winter Carnival race changes in 2017 the last horse to do the double was Sea Siren (2012).

In 2019 Kiwi galloper The Bostonian became the latest horse to take out the Doomben 10,000 – Kingsford Smith Cup double having won the former as a 40/1 outsider.

The new key Doomben 10,000 lead-up race is the Group 2 Victory Stakes (1200m) run over the same distance also at weight-for-age two weeks before.

The Doomben 10,000 form was franked with the winner Eduardo going on to win a number of subsequent races including the Classique Legend (Winners) Stakes on the back of a third in the $15 million The Everest in Sydney that spring.

The Doomben 10,000 winner in 2022 Mazu franked the form returning in the spring to run placings in a host of feature races in Sydney including a third in The Everest results that October behind Giga Kick.

The form was further franked with Paulele running second in both the Doomben 10,000 and Kingsford-Smith Cup results before heading west to win the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) in Perth that summer.

In 2023 the Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 was won by the previous spring’s The Everest winning three-year-old Giga Kick who moved to ninth on the Australian Racing All-Time Prizemoney list with the victory.

The 2023 Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 ran on Saturday May 13, 2023 at Doomben Racecourse offering $1.5 million in stakes for the first time and was won in fighting fashion by the odds-on, Clayton Douglas-trained three-year-old marvel Giga Kick ($1.65F).

  • 3rd: #2 Mazu

The Everest winning Scissor Kick gelding Giga Kick ($1.65F) was too classy late posting another elite level win off an arrogant ride by ace hoop Craig Williams to come wide down the outside and defeat The Quokka winner Overpass ($16) in the 2023 Doomben 10,000 results in Brisbane.

  • To Win: #8 Giga Kick ($1.85 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Brilliant edition of the 10,000 and it looks hard to go past the in-form young favourite Giga Kick. The reigning The Everest winner knows what the big races are all about and is at an understandably odds-on quote. The Clayton Douglas-trained son of Scissor Kick is fit now fourth-up. He is drawn a treat in barrier four with Craig Williams in the saddle and comes off a lead-up win. On the back of his TJ Smith Stakes second in the wet he got his confidence back defeating a quality field with a bullish victory in the Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) in mid-April. There he defeated the marvel Zaaki by a good margin with the form franked by Zaaki’s Hollindale win last weekend. Expect that form to stack up again here.

2023 Doomben 10,000 Field

The Doomben 10,000 field up until 2017 traditionally attracted weight-for-age sprinters coming off a BTC Cup run. The race is now held a fortnight earlier as the first Group 1 of the winter in Queensland and will likely be the carnival kick-off for many horses. Gallopers may also now come into the Doomben 10,000 race field via a Victory Stakes run a fortnight earlier in Brisbane.

In 2023 the odds-on favourite Giga Kick won the Doomben 10,000 on the back of a Sydney lead-up win the month before in the Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m).

The official Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 field 2023 and barriers are set for release on the Wednesday of race week and will be published below as soon as announced by Racing Queensland.

The 2023 Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 final field features an outstanding line-up of star sprinters including The Everest winning three-year-old Giga Kick who is odds-on after an All Aged Stakes victory last time out and inaugural $4 million The Quokka champ Overpass.

Scratchings Update: #1 Eduardo (11) has been withdrawn due to a wide draw and poor speed map for the veteran who is likely to be saved for the Kingsford Smith Cup.

Doomben 10,000 History

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.

The Doomben 10,000 race distance dropped back to the 1200m sprint in 2017 and the weight-for-age race moved forward a fortnight so it now marks the start of Group 1 racing in Brisbane over the winter.

Star Sydney sprinter Redzel (2017) won the first 1200m edition of the rescheduled Doomben 10,000 before his The Everest – Darley Classic double that spring.

The 2020 edition of the race was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2022 the Doomben 10,000 ran at Eagle Farm Racecourse due to heavy rainfall.

The 2023 Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 results were dominated by the odds-on favourite Giga Kick who won the previous October’s $15 million The Everest.
