There have been several jockeys who won the race twice since 1983, those being Craig Williams, Chris Munce, Danny Nikolic, Gary Palmer, Jim Cassidy, Kerrin McEvoy and Stephen King. As well as the 1400-metre Stradbroke, Dane Ripper also won the Cox Plate and the Australian Cup, illustrating her amazing versatility. Four-time Group 1 winner All Our Mob won in 1994, while Bart Cummings’ superstar Dane Ripper saluted in 1997. One of the golden eras of the Stradbroke was the 1990s, which were kicked off with champion New Zealander Rough Habit winning the race back-to-back in 19. Other Group 1 races held on Stradbroke Day are the J J Adkins Plate for two-year-olds, and the new Q22 race for stayers. Run over 1400 metres at Eagle Farm Racecourse, the race attracts some of Australia’s best sprinters and is the feature race on the biggest day of the Winter Carnival. At $1.5 million in prizemoney, the Stradbroke Handicap is Queensland’s richest race outside of the restricted Magic Millions two-year-old and three-year-old events, held on the Gold Coast each January. BOLT BY (5) can get into the placings once again.There’s plenty of highlights across the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival, but there’s little doubting the premier race of the season: the Stradbroke Handicap.

SHE'S STYLISH (9) will enjoy the added ground here and has won on this track. TUBBY TWO TRACKS (2) has been around the money without it showing in the results. HALIFAX ROAD (10) did a top job on his debut.

He got all the way to the South Australian Derby when outclassed. MONTEPULCIANO (1) could well benefit from that sort of set up. Trifecta 16-1,9,10,12/1,9,10,12.Īs a FREE Racing and Sports offer, below is the Ascot Computer Card. Next best KAY CEE (9) and VALOUR ROAD (1). NOTORIOUS ONE (12) is racing in great form and was placed behind Western Empire last time.

Drawn ideally and is a clear second pick. KISSONALLFORCHEEKS (10) was taken on in front two starts back then atoned with a gutsy win last week. Drawn nicely, can be handy, and it will take a good performance from something else, or bad luck, to beat him. WESTERN EMPIRE (16) is a potential new star for WA racing and he throttled down about 200m out when winning easily first-up since the WA Derby win. Major metropolitan meetings are today held at Ascot and Morphettville Parks.
