The Brisbane Cup is a staying event traditionally held at Eagle Farm Racecourse in Brisbane. Raced during the Brisbane Winter Carnival in June, the Group 2 feature is a quality handicap is currently worth a lucrative $400,000 in prize money. Previously taking place on the Queen’s Birthday public holiday, the Brisbane Cup is now run on Stradbroke Handicap Day in June.

The race has taken place over a variety of distances, but as of 2021 is back up over the traditional two-mile (3200m) cup distance.

Stradbroke Handicap Day is host to two Group 1 races including the $3 million Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap, while the Brisbane Cup is one of the key support acts on the program along with the likes of the Group 1 JJ Atkins for two-year-old milers and the $1.2 million The Q22 (2200m) that replaces the race previously known as the PJ O’Shea Stakes.

The form of the 2021 Brisbane Cup was franked with the winner Knights Order going on to win the following year’s Group 1 Sydney Cup (3200m) at Randwick.

In 2023 Chris Waller’s 2021 Sydney Cup champion Selino returned to winning form saluting in the Brisbane Cup results to break a lengthy drought.

The Brisbane Cup 2024 ran on Saturday June 15, 2024 at Eagle Farm Racecourse over 3200m as a potential early lead-up into the spring’s Melbourne Cup field on the first Tuesday of November and was won in an impressive romp home by the now Bjorn Baker-trained Alegron ($8).

2024 Brisbane Cup Tips

Stay tuned for our insider Brisbane Cup 2024 Tips on the two-mile winter showdown this Stradbroke Day.

• To Win: #2 Amade ($4.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW

This year’s Brisbane Cup offers an open field with some tough stayers, but I’m placing my bet on the proven two-miler Amade for Phillip Stokes. The ten-year-old veteran shows no signs of slowing down, recently dominating the Sandown Cup (3200m) on June 2nd. This race distance is perfectly suited to him – his record at 3200m is stellar. While it’s a step up in class, jockey Daniel Stackhouse remains aboard the evergreen warrior, who has a strong chance to add another victory.

2024 Brisbane Cup Field

The Brisbane Cup field draws a smart line-up of winter stayers coming out of lead-up runs earlier in the carnival including the Group 3 Premier’s Cup (2400m) at Eagle Farm a fortnight prior on Kingsford-Smith Cup Day or even the Group 1 Doomben Cup (2000m). Sixties Groove (3rd in 2019) was the last Doomben Cup graduate to go on to win the Brisbane Cup.

The official Brisbane Cup 2024 final field and barriers will be out the Wednesday of race week and published below in full.

The 2024 Brisbane Cup field features a quality line-up of winter stayers led in betting by Mostly Cloudy coming off an Andrew Ramsden second and Phillip Stokes’ last start Sandown Cup winner over the 3200m Amade.
