Latest Doomben 10,000 News
Betting on the Doomben 10,000
Over the last 13 years, only six favourites have won – Giga Kick, Mazu, Eduardo, Sea Siren, Apache Cat (x2), and two equal favourites also won with Spirit Of Boom and Hot Danish.
The race is typically suited towards the well-supported runners, but there has been the odd upset. 11 winners from the last 36 years have won paying double figures which included 2019 winner The Bostonian which paid $41 who ultimately was is the biggest priced winner the race has seen.
The Doomben 10,000 is a race suited for colts and geldings. Only English (2018), Sea Siren (2012), Beaded (2011), and Hot Danish (2010) broke a streak of 15 consecutive colt or gelding winners since 2000 so look towards backing the boys in Brisbane.
The barrier draw statistics make for interesting reading. Typically group one races don’t have a big barrier bias, but the Doomben 10,000 favours drawing the inside barrier.
Barrier 1 has won the race six times in the last 31 years and barrier 1-5 have won 21 of the last 33. If you draw 11, 13, 15 or 16, good luck as no horse has ever won drawing those barriers.

Recent Doomben 10,000 runnings
- Bella Nipotina even left trainer Ciaron Maher gobsmacked by her ability to fight on, despite a hectic schedule, which has included runs in Melbourne, Perth and now Brisbane. Bella Nipotina’s victory in the Doomben 10,000 came over arguably Australia’s top sprinter, I Wish I Win and had to overcome a horrible start. Ridden by Craig Williams, Belle Nipotina ($7) was expected to push forward, but the pair found themselves among at the back of the field of nine. Williams expertly guided Bella Nopotina to the outside at the top of the straight, before unleashing a huge burst to mow down I Wish I Win ($2.20), with Espiona ($5) a length further back in third. It was Williams’ second consecutive win in the Doomben 10,000, after he guided Giga Kick to the $1.5m feature in 2023.
- All the eyes in the Australian racing world were on Giga Kick in the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 as the raging odds-on favourite with online bookmakers, got over the top of Overpass late to bring up his second Group 1 success in as many starts. The Clayton Douglas-trained three-year-old gelding jumped as the $1.65 favourite, and even though he found the front with 75m to go, he appeared to always have the race within his keeping from the top of the home straight. Giga Kick, a son of Scissor Kick, settled mid-field from barrier four after jumping slowly, but once he found the outside of the leading trio with 400m to go, we all knew that the flashy chestnut was going to run them down as soon as Craig Williams went for the whip and pushed the button. After running second in the TJ Smith Stakes and winning both the All Aged Stakes and Doomben 10,000 this time in, Douglas confirmed that he will be set for another tilt at The Everest in the spring.
- Having been one of the shining lights throughout The Championships in Sydney, the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained Mazu dug deep to claim the Doomben 10,000. Having looked like a shot duck on the home turn, Sam Clipperton managed to have the three-year-old move through the gears in the home straight and despite tiring late, the colt managed to hold off the fast finishing Paulele and Entriviere in a blanket finish. The win handed Clipperton his first Group 1 win in six years and gave the Snowden’s a second win in the race since 2017. The 2022 edition of the Doomben 10,000 was run at Eagle Farm owing to wet weather.
- Eduardo the $1.60 favourite looked to be all but lost as he was leading the pack and seemed to be getting gassed on the last 100m, however with the fighting spirit from the seven-year-old gelding he was able to find the extra grunt to keep the lead and win by .3 of a length to $31 Wild Planet.
- 2020 running of the Doomben 10,000 was cancelled due to COVID-19 and the lockdowns in Australia.
- An inch perfect steer from Michael Cahill aboard The Bostonian saw the Tony Pike-trained gelding created history as the biggest priced winner of the Doomben 10,000 when paying $41. The Bostonian had been urged along the rails over the final furlong before needing to hold out the fast finishing Osborne Bulls. The Tony Pike-trained runner had not been seen in Australia since his win in the Sunshine Coast Guineas in June 2018 after heading back to New Zealand in an attempt for more Group 1 success.
- All eyes were on Redzel heading into his Doomben 10,000 defence but it was Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained English which stole the show. Redzel lead the field heading to the 400m mark but English and Le Romain forged past the Everest winner to fight it out. It was English who came away as the winner, with the fast-finishing Impending just edging out Le Romain for the runners-up cheque.
- Redzel held on gamely after leading throughout to win the 2017 Doomben 10,000. It looked to be wilting in the straight, but jockey Jim Byrne got the best out of it late to hold off the fast-finishing Counterattack. Read the report here.
- It was a Bjorn Baker special this year, with Music Magnate winning in a scorching time, the third fastest in modern history. Ridden by Kerrin McEvoy, Music Magnate was able to settle in a great position before showing great spirit to hold off Azkadellia, Charlie Boy and Delection. Read a full report.
- Boban added another group one to its tally in 2015 with the Doomben 10,000. The Chris Waller-trained gelding scored a very narrow win over Charlie Boy and Generalife in one of the closest finishes in history. The big story from this race was the beaten brigade and how good they have been since. Boban defeated Sacred Star, Srikandi, Temple Of Boom, Big Money and Scissor Kick – all good horses in their own right.
- The boom was heard all around Doomben as Tony Gollan the group one quinella with, Spirit Of Boom beating home Temple Of Boom. Many punters were riding home stablemate Temple Of Boom with Tegan Harrison in the saddle and it looked home in the straight, but Spirit Of Boom showed its true class and finished over the top of them late. The win was memorable for Gollan and it came with one of his stable stars. Spirit Of Boom defeated Queensland-favourite Buffering, Rebel Dane and Hot Snitzel, so take nothing away from this win.
- The Peter Snowden-trained Epaulette produced one of the best finishes in Doomben 10,000 history. The then three-year-old settled well throughout the run and when it hit the 200m mark it went whoosh. It never showed the same form again following this win, but once again, the beaten brigade is what makes winning the Doomben 10,000 so prestigious. Epaulette defeated Buffering, Sea Siren, Spirit Of Boom and Rain Affair. Punters were happy with the win as it got backed late, all the way into $6.
- Sea Siren gave John O’Shea his group one when the then three-year-old filly proved too good for Buffering which once again finished in behind the winner. Sea Siren had a great season and winning the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 was one of the highlights. The daughter of Fastnet Rock carried only 55kg to victory whilst the likes of Buffering and Temple Of Boom carried 59kg. This race suits runners at the light weights so punters should look for that.
- Beaded took advantage of the small field of only seven runners. Love Conquers All (2nd) was the $3 favourite, but Beaded just fell in to hold it off. Buffering was once again beaten, finishing last in seventh position. Other notable runners were All Silent which later succeeded at Royal Ascot and the well-performed Black Piranha.
