The Ladbrokes’ exclusive Doomben 10,000 betting tips 2026 will be detailed below the week of the race so bookmark this page for the horses to back and sack.

The Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 is now the first Group 1 race of the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival after the 2017 changes saw it moved forward a fortnight. Taking place on a Saturday in early – mid May at Doomben Racecourse, the Doomben 10,000 is a weight-for-age sprint now contested over 1200m having previously been run over 1350m. Offering $1,500,000 in prize money after a stakes increase in 2023 the race now serves as a nice lead-up to the Group 1 BTC Cup (1300m) – which from 2017 has been known as the Kingsford Smith Cup.

Sea Siren (2012) was the last horse to complete the previous BTC Cup – Doomben 10,000 double when the former was held two weeks before over 1200m, before The Bostonian (2019) won both races (the Doomben 10,000 – Kingsford Smith Cup double) in reverse order following the changes to the winter line-up.

The Doomben 10,000 horses are likely to come off a Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival campaign or have had an earlier Queensland lead-up at Eagle Farm in the Group 2 Victory Stakes (1200m) in Brisbane. In 2021 the Doomben 10,000 winner Eduardo came off a lead-up third in Sydney’s Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes.

Following a Doomben 10,000 run, gallopers are likely to follow the new winter path into the Kingsford Smith Cup over 1300m and then into the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) in June – Queensland’s richest race.

The key support races on the Doomben 10,000 Day program are the Group 2 Spirit Of Boom Classic for two-year-olds and the Queensland Derby-bound three-year-olds facing off in the Group 3 Rough Habit Plate.

In 2024 the Doomben 10,000 winner, Bella Nipotina, went on to win that year’s Tatt’s Tiara as well as Sydney’s $20 million The Everest in the spring.

Favourites in the Doomben 10,000 odds have a strong record in the past decade with nine saluting for the punters from 2007 – 2026 including most recently Spirit Of Boom ($4.75 equal favourite in 2014), Eudardo ($1.70 in 2021), the three-year-old Mazu ($3.30 in 2022), fellow three-year-old Giga Kick ($1.65 in 2023), and the mare Sunshine In Paris ($3.30 in 2025).

Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 Field

The Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 race field attracts a line-up of the season’s best weight-for-age sprinters and from 2017 after being moved forward two weeks, became a winter carnival kick-off point for sprinters.

The largest Doomben 10,000 field in recent years was 20 starters when Red Oog won from the inside barrier in 2005. The only time in over 30 years the Doomben 10,000 field featured under 10 runners was when Beaded defeated just six rivals in a seven-starter field in 2011.

Horses come into the Doomben 10,000 field via a number of races, but after the race was moved in 2017 the Group 2 Victory Stakes (1200m) in Brisbane is now the key lead-up event.

In 2023 ace three-year-old Giga Kick won the Doomben 10,000 off a lead-up Sydney victory in the Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) the month prior.

Sunshine In Paris (3rd in 2025) was the last All Aged Stakes graduate to head to Brisbane and win the Doomben 10,000. 

Doomben 10,000 nominations close on a Tuesday around two weeks out from the event, with the final field of acceptances closing on the Tuesday of race week.

Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 Form Guide

The Doomben 10,000 form guide features all the must know info and stats for punters looking to place a well-informed wager on the race including the jockeys, trainers, barriers and lead-up runs of all the horses in the field.

The 2022 Doomben 10,000 form was franked with the winner Mazu returning in the spring in Sydney to finish top three in a number of big events including his third in The Everest and second in the Winners Stakes. Runner-up Paulele also went on to finish second in the Kingsford Smith Cup results next start before heading to Perth that November and winning the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m).

The 2023 Doomben 10,000 also produced that year’s Winterbottom Stakes with the runner-up Overpass improving on his Brisbane run to claim the Perth feature that summer.
