The BRC Sprint is a Group 3 Quality Handicap race held each May at Doomben racecourse in Brisbane, Queensland. The race is run over a distance of 1350 metres and is worth $125,000 in prizemoney. The 2010 BRC Sprint was won by Beaded from Secrets Untold with Drenalin third.
The race was formerly known as the 'BTC Sprint', but in 2009, the newly formed Brisbane Racing Club changed the race name from the 'BTC Sprint' to the 'BRC Sprint' for the 2009/1010 racing season after the merger of the QTC & BTC race clubs.

The BRC Sprint is run under quality handicap conditions and suits improving horses who can get in with a light weight to beat the handicapper. It tends to attract a more than handy field of sprinters and takes place over the same course & distance as the Doomben feature sprint in seven days time, the Gr1 Doomben 10,000 (1350m).
The race takes place on Gr1 Doomben Cup day and has not been a great guide to the Doomben 10000 in recent times with Chief De Beers (1998) the last galloper to win the BRC Sprint & Doomben 10000 double.
The Gr2 QTC Cup may be next on the agenda for gallopers contesting this race, while the better horses may consider tackling the stronger Doomben 10,000 the following Saturday.
Beaded (2010) ran third in the Gr1 All Aged Stakes at Randwick during the Sydney autumn carnival prior to her success in this event and recent BRC Sprint winners have been Court Command (2009) and Helideck (2008).
