THE QUEENSLAND RACING CARNIVAL IS WHERE CHAMPIONS EMERGE
Last year, it was Think About It and Kovalica that shone brightest, and this year the tradition continues.
Staged over 10 action-packed weeks, more than $28 million in prize money will go on the line, including nine million-dollar races and 55 black-type features across 11 race meetings.
The $1 million Group 1 Doomben Cup is contested by some of Australasia’s best middle-distance weight-for-age horses.
Last year, it was Zaaki chasing redemption over Huetor, however the Team Snowden-trained galloper proved too strong yet again to claim back-to-back victories.
It’s a big day for the fillies and mares, with two major black-type lead ups for the girls thanks to The Roses, the Carter Stakes and Pam O’Neill.
