The Doncaster Mile offers a lucrative $4 million in prize money making it one of the richest races in the autumn and is open to all horses aged three years and over. With the threat of Coronavirus shutting down Australian racing, the 2020 Doncaster Mile prizemoney was reduced to $1.5 million, with the stakes back up to $3 million for the 2021 edition and boosted to $4 million ahead of the 2023 race.
The Doncaster Mile is now held on the opening day of The Championships at Royal Randwick on an exciting race card that also features the Group 1 T.J. Smith Stakes (1200m), the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m), and the Group 1 ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) which is known as the Inglis Sires’.
Key lead-up races into the Doncaster Mile field include the Group 3 Doncaster Prelude (1500m) run the Saturday before at Rosehill Gardens and the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m) a fortnight before. Recent winners of the George Ryder Stakes – Doncaster Mile double include Winx (2016), Vision And Power (2009), Haradasun (2007), and Racing To Win (2006).
The Doncaster Mile winner is also exempt from ballot from the $5 million Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) held the following Saturday. The Doncaster Mile – Queen Elizabeth Stakes double was recently achieved by More Joyous (2012).
In 2021 the Doncaster Mile ran on the second Saturday of April with all race meetings of the autumn in Sydney from Slipper Day onwards postponed a week due to the weather.
The 2022 Doncaster Mile form was franked with the winner Mr Brightside going on to do the Group 2 P.B. Lawrence Stakes – Group 2 Feehan Stakes double in Melbourne that spring. He also ran third in Flemington’s Group 1 Champions Mile (1600m) over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
The Doncaster Mile form from 2022 was further franked with the runner-up I’m Thunderstruck going on to run second in a host of subsequent Group 1 races including the Cox Plate and win the Makybe Diva Stakes that spring.
Icebath meanwhile ran third in the Doncaster Mile results (after a 2nd the following year) and after a number of subsequent Group 1 placings, won that year’s Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) in Victoria.
Mr Brightside returned to 2023 on the back of his lead-up $5 million The All-Star Mile victory in Melbourne to successfully defend his Doncaster Mile title.
Mr Brightside franked the Doncaster form firmly in the spring of 2023 saluting in races including the Group 1 Memsie Stakes and Makybe Diva Stakes. He also finished runner-up in that year’s King Charles III Stakes, Cox Plate, and Champions Mile.
In 2024 the Les Bridge-trained three-year-old Celestial Legend won the Randwick Guineas – Doncaster Mile double.
The 2024 Doncaster Mile form was franked with the runner-up, Pericles, going on to win the $2 million Five Diamonds race that spring.
The $4 million 2025 Doncaster Mile runs on Saturday April 5, 2025 at Royal Randwick on Day 1 of The Championships in Sydney.Â

Doncaster Mile Betting
The Doncaster Mile is always one of the most popular betting events on the Australian racing calendar because of the open nature of the Group 1 event.
Favourites have a fair record in the Doncaster Mile with the likes of Winx (2016), More Joyous (2011), Haradasun (2007), and Racing To Win (2006) all winning as the punters elect in the last decade.
There has also been some notable upset Doncaster Mile results including back in 1985 when Row Of Waves won as a 100/1 shot and more recently the 2020 win by $41 outsider Nettoyer.
There was another upset in the 2022 Doncaster Mile with Mr Brightside saluting at 20/1.
Mr Brightside returned in 2023 to salute for the punters and become the latest favourite in Doncaster Mile betting at $6 to win.

The Doncaster Mile form is always tough to analyse because there are generally horses coming from a variety of different form lines to contest the Group 1 event.
The George Ryder Stakes is considered the key form race, but in recent years Doncaster Mile winners have had their final lead-up race in events like the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m), the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) and Group 2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m).
In 2022 the upset Doncaster Mile winner Mr Brightside came off a lead-up fourth in Melbourne’s $5 million The All-Star Mile (1600m).
Mr Brightside returned to win the 2023 The All-Star Mile at The Valley before a successful title defence saluting for the punters in the 2023 Doncaster Mile results. He became the first back-to-back Doncaster Mile winner since Sacred Falls (2013-14).
