Formerly run over the traditional cup distance of two miles (3200m) – the same as the iconic Melbourne Cup in the spring and the Sydney Cup each autumn – it is now a 2400m race that serves as a potential lead-up into the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) later in October.
A quality handicap race, the Queensland Cup field face off for $160,000 in prize money.
The Toowoomba Cup held a fortnight earlier is a good lead-up into the event, and in 2021 Honorable Spirit improved on a Toowoomba Cup second to win the Queensland Cup that spring.
Walsh Bay (2025) was the last runner to complete the Toowoomba Cup – Queensland Cup double.
Honorable Spirit returned to run third in the 2022 Queensland Cup results behind Fun Fact.
The latest edition of the Queensland Cup ran on Saturday October 11, 2025, the same day Melbourne hosted its Caulfield Guineas Day card, and saw the Chris & Corey Munce trained Toowoomba Cup winning mare Walsh Bay ($3.50) narrowly hang on to post her fifth win on the trot.

2025 Queensland Cup Field
The Queensland Cup Field of Final Acceptors is announced by Racing Queensland the Wednesday of race week and features the top stayers of the season.
Following its move from the winter to the spring, horses in the Queensland Cup field may now use Sydney’s Group 3 Colin Stephen Quality (2400m) on Golden Rose Day as a lead-up. In 2020 Grey Lion improved on his lead-up third in the Colin Stephen to win the Queensland Cup over 2200m.
Fun Fact (5th in 2022) was the last Colin Stephen Quality graduate out of Sydney to back-up and win the Queensland Cup in Brisbane.
The 2025 Queensland Cup field features a good line-up of stayers including the flying Chris & Corey Munce trained Toowoomba Cup champ Walsh Bay chasing his fifth win on the trot.
