The Group 2 Dane Ripper Quality, now known as the Dane Ripper Stakes, is one of the feature races traditionally held on Stradbroke Handicap Day at Eagle Farm Racecourse during the annual Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival.
Conducted on a Saturday in early-mid June, the 1400mset weights plus penalties showdown for fillies and mares is worth $200,000 in prize money and is one of a host of Group support acts on the richest race day of the carnival.
The meeting is headlined by the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap, Queensland Derby and JJ Atkins. The Dane Ripper Stakes meanwhile is one of three Group 2 races on the program along with the Brisbane Cup for the stayers and Queensland Guineas for the three-year-old milers.
A nice lead-up race to the Dane Ripper Stakes is the Group 3 Glenlogan Park Stakes (1300m) at Eagle Farm a fortnight earlier, while contenders may also come out of races like the Group 3 Proud Miss Stakes (1200m) in Adelaide.
Fillies & mares that run well in the Dane Ripper Stakes usually back-up at the end of the month in the Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara (1400m) over the same track and distance, which is the last major race of the Queensland Winter Racing Carnival. The Dane Ripper Stakes – Tattersall’s Tiara has been achieved in recent years by Red Tracer (2013) and Cosmic Endeavour (2014).
The 2017 Dane Ripper Stakes ran on Stradbroke Handicap Day, Saturday June 10, 2017 at Doomben Racecourse over 1350m with Eagle Farm out of action.

Dane Ripper Stakes History
Inaugurated in 2003, the Dane Ripper Stakes was originally a Listed race.
The high class of mainly locally-trained fillies and mares attracted to the winter feature however saw it gain Group 3 status in 2006.
Three years later in 2009 the event, named in honour of champion 1997 Cox Plate winner Dane Ripper who was prepared by Bart Cummings, became a Group 2 feature and since then has continued to draw quality fields. In 2017 the race took place over 1350m at Doomben with Eagle Farm not declared fit for racing.
