Runner DetailsWinPlace
1. Overpass (10) J: Josh Parr 58.5kg
T: Bjorn Baker
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 13 at Randwick in the G1 T J Smith on April 5 over 1200m, nose behind Briasa with 58.5kg at $5. Second-up led to the turn then faded 5th of 13 at Ascot Quokka on April 26 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Jokers Grin carrying 58.5kg at $2.05. Profiles nicely. Fitter and is among the winning hopes.
2. Schwarz (11) J: Craig Williams 58.5kg
T: John O'Shea & Tom Charlton
Comes off a 56 day let-up. Most recently won by 1.0 len at Moonee Valley G1 William Reid March 22 over 1200m in soft going defeating Benedetta carrying 58.5kg at $5.50. The run before that led to the turn then faded ran last of 10 at Caulfield in the G1 C F Orr on February 8 over 1400m, 8 len behind Another Wil with 59kg at $8.50. Key chance on that latest run and expected to be in the finish again. Key chance on that latest run and expected to be in the finish again.
3. Mazu (13) J: Rachel King 58.5kg
T: Joseph Pride
Half-brother to Group 1 winner Headway. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.4 len at Randwick G3 Hall Mark April 19 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Coal Crusher with 58kg at $4.40. The start before that 5th of 12 at Rosehill in the G3 St Kingdom on April 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind General Salute with 59.5kg at $5. In form and certainly worth following up.
4. Veight (9) J: Andrew Mallyon 58.5kg
T: Tony & Calvin McEvoy
Resuming after a break of six-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation second last of 20 at Rosehill Golden Eagle November 2 over 1500m, 18 len behind Lake Forest carrying 57.5kg at $41. When resuming last campaign second last of 12 at Moonee Valley in the G1 Manikato September 27 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Southport Tycoon with 58.5kg at $11. Will take great benefit from this run.
5. Desert Lightning (4) J: Thomas Stockdale 58.5kg
T: Peter G Moody & Katherine Coleman
Second run back. First-up after seven months 8th of 14 at Randwick in the G1 All Aged on April 19 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Jimmysstar with 59kg at $91. Previously second-up won by 1.0 len at Sandown-Hillside G3 Sand Stks September 28 over 1500m defeating Craig with 59.5kg at $5. Likely to find this out of reach.
6. Rothfire (15) J: Tim Clark 58.5kg
T: Robert Heathcote
Second run back. First-up after four months 4th of 16 at Eagle Farm in the G2 Victory Stakes on May 3 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Libertad with 58.5kg at $18. Previously second-up 6th of 12 at Eagle Farm in the LR Falvelon on December 21 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Cannonball carrying 61kg at $13. Fitter but looks safely held.
7. Golden Mile (1) J: Ryan Maloney 58.5kg
T: James Cummings
Most recently 3rd of 16 at Eagle Farm in the G2 Victory Stakes on May 3 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Libertad carrying 58.5kg at $41. Before that raced on the pace before fading 10th of 14 at Caulfield in the G3 Vic Hcp on April 5 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Nicolini Vito with 59.5kg at $18. Will need to do even more.
8. Zarastro (7) J: Angela Jones 58.5kg
T: Tony Gollan
Second run back. First-up after three months 5th of 11 at Eagle Farm in the LR Ascot Hcp on April 19 over 1000m, 2 len behind King Kapa carrying 61kg at $6. Previously second-up 7th of 12 at Eagle Farm in the LR Falvelon on December 21 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Cannonball carrying 58kg at $4.20. Others seem to have his measure.
9. Libertad (12) J: Jamie Mott 58.5kg
T: Annabel & Rob Archibald
Third-up today. Resuming 9th of 11 at Eagle Farm in the LR Ascot Hcp on April 19 over 1000m, 4 len behind King Kapa carrying 55kg at $7.50. Second-up came from midfield and won by a nose at Eagle Farm G2 Victory Stakes May 3 over 1200m defeating Jedibeel carrying 58.5kg at $71. Maybe a place in this line-up.
10. Jedibeel (3) J: Tyler Schiller 58.5kg
T: Brad Widdup
Most recently 2nd of 16 at Eagle Farm in the G2 Victory Stakes on May 3 over 1200m, nose behind Libertad with 58.5kg at $6. Before that 10th of 13 at Randwick in the G1 T J Smith on April 5 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Briasa with 58.5kg at $41. Went close last time. Hard to beat this time.
11. Hidden Wealth (2) J: Tommy Berry 58.5kg
T: Tony Gollan
Second run back. First-up after four months raced on the pace before fading 13th of 16 at Eagle Farm in the G2 Victory Stakes on May 3 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Libertad with 58.5kg at $6.50. Previously second-up ran last of 12 at Eagle Farm in the LR Falvelon on December 21 over 1200m, 9 len behind Cannonball with 56kg at $2.05. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
12. Sunshine In Paris (14) J: James McDonald 56.5kg
T: Annabel & Rob Archibald
Most recently 3rd of 14 at Randwick in the G1 All Aged on April 19 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Jimmysstar carrying 57kg at $15. The race before that 8th of 13 at Randwick in the G1 T J Smith on April 5 over 1200m, 2 len behind Briasa carrying 56.5kg at $10. Making headway. Going well and looks hard to beat again here.
13. Belclare (6) J: Jason Collett 56.5kg
T: Bjorn Baker
Last start faded in the straight 6th of 14 at Randwick in the G1 All Aged on April 19 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Jimmysstar carrying 57kg at $41. Before that eased back early on 9th of 13 at Ellerslie in the G1 Nz Tbred Brdrs on March 8 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Provence carrying 57kg at $14.80. Looking to others.
14. Benedetta (8) J: Jamie Melham 56.5kg
T: Jason Warren
Last start 5th of 14 at Randwick in the G1 All Aged on April 19 over 1400m, slow going 2.75 len behind Jimmysstar carrying 57kg at $21. Before that 2nd of 9 at Moonee Valley in the G1 William Reid on March 22 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.0 len behind Schwarz carrying 56.5kg at $7. Can bounce back.
15. Lady Laguna (16) J: Mark Zahra 56.5kg
T: Annabel & Rob Archibald
At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 11 at Hawkesbury in the G3 Hawk Crown on May 3 over 1300m, in the wet; 2 len behind City Of Lights with 60kg at $2.80. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Randwick in the G2 Sapphire on April 12 over 1200m, 0.7 len behind Infancy carrying 58kg at $7. Not the worst.
17. Payline (17) J: Justin Huxtable 58.5kg
T: Chris & Corey Munce
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming eased back early on 6th of 11 at Eagle Farm in the LR Ascot Hcp on April 19 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind King Kapa with 55.5kg at $7.50. Second run from a spell 9th of 16 at Eagle Farm in the G2 Victory Stakes on May 3 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Libertad with 58.5kg at $81. Would have to improve sharply.
16. Estriella (5)

Offering a lucrative $1,500,000 in prize money, 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 then $15 million (now $20 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 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 Doomben 10,000 form from 2023 was franked with the runner-up Overpass going on to win Perth’s Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) that summer.

The 2024 Doomben 10,000 winning mare Bella Nipotina franked the form running second in that year’s Kingsford Smith Cup and Stradbroke Handicap trifectas before winning the Group 1 Tatt’s Tiara. She also came back for a huge spring headlined by her The Everest victory in Sydney. The form was further franked with the Doomben 10,000 runner-up, I Wish I Win, taking out the Kingsford Smith Cup at his next start.

2025 Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 Tips

Stay tuned for our exclusive Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 2025 Tips on the opening Group 1 sprint of the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival, this May.

  • To Win: #2 Schwarz ($6.50 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Crack field of winter sprinters engaged in another exciting edition of the Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 and I’ve landed on Schwarz on the second line of betting. This progressive four-year-old son of Zoustar hails from the O’Shea/Charlton yard at boasts a 50% winning strike-rate from his dozen starts to date. He’s building a nice little record and gets his chance at back-to-back Group 1s here well-rated over the six-furlongs. This is his first go at Doomben but his 1200m form is outstanding (8:4-1-0). At his latest he won the Group 1 William Reid at The Valley beating home Benedetta and Jimmysstar. Jimmysstar franked the form with his subsequent Group 1 All Aged Stakes winning performance which bodes well for this entire now. He’s proven this way of racing having won Sydney’s Group 2 Missile Stakes on Soft going last August so no issues coming from a Melbourne win to Brisbane. Kept fresh since the William Reid on March 22 but has won two recent hit-outs, the latest on a Heavy (8) at Randwick on May 5 so if the track stays wet think he’ll get through it without a worry. Drawn wider out in gate 11 but has Craig Williams in the saddle to navigate. Happy to have him.

2025 Ladbrokes 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 2025 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 2025 Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 final field is now out featuring a capacity line-up of top-class sprinters including two-time The Quokka champion Overpass, the widely drawn Sunshine In Paris coming off a Group 1 All Aged third, and last start Group 1 William Reid Stakes winner Schwarz.

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 six-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.
