The BTC Cup is the first Group 1 race of the Brisbane winter racing carnival and is a major weight-for-age event that generally assembles a field of very good gallopers. It is the ideal lead up race to one of the bigger races of the Brisbane winter which is the Gr1 Doomben 10,000 over 1350 metres in a fortnight at Doomben.
Top class horses to win this race include Apache Cat (2008), Falvelon (2003 & 2000), General Nediym (1998) and Chief De Beers in 1996. In recent times Apache Cat (2008) has scored the BTC Cup/Doomben 10,000 double, while Takeover Target (2nd in 2007) managed to win the Doomben 10,000 at his next start.
Apache Cat (3rd in 2009) went on to win the Doomben 10,000 for the second year in a row after victory here and recent winners of the BTC Cup have been Apache Cat (2008), Bentley Biscuit (2007) and Gee I Jane in 2006.
