A Storied Legacy:

Originally inaugurated as the Doomben Newmarket Handicap, the race was renamed the Doomben 10,000 in 1946 to reflect its then-record prize money of £10,000, making it Australia’s richest sprint at the time. Over the decades, the race has undergone several transformations, including changes in distance and race conditions.

Notably, it shifted from a handicap to weight-for-age format in 1997 and settled at its current 1200-metre distance in 2017.
