2018 Doomben Cup Field
The Doomben Cup field attracts a class field of weight-for-age winter racing hopefuls each season, many coming off the AD Hollindale Stakes run at the Gold Coast earlier in the month. A number of gallopers in the Doomben Cup field are coming off a run during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival and races like the Doncaster Mile and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick during The Championships have provided a number of Doomben Cup winners in recent years.
The official Doomben Cup 2018 Field & Barriers are set for release on the Wednesday of race week and will be published in full below once announced by Racing Queensland.
The 2018 Doomben Cup Final Field attracted 13 gallopers including Mick Price’s last start Hollindale Stakes winning mare Oregon’s Day. The field was cut to a dozen with the early scratching of the Godolphin-raced It’s Somewhat due to a fever.
