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 Queensland Racing Carnival heads to Doomben for the first Group 1 of the Winter Carnival, with the Doomben 10,000 again running for $1.5 million as the first of a trilogy of million-dollar sprints on offer.
Elsewhere on the card, the Group 3 Rough Habit Plate will set the scene for the Group 1 Queensland Derby a fortnight later, while the juveniles will be looking to make their mark in the Group 2 Spirit Of Boom ahead of the JJ Atkins later in the carnival.
