Doomben 10000 info
Date: Saturday 28th May 2011
Track: Doomben racecourse, Brisbane
Distance: 1350 metres
Race Type: Weight-for-age
Status: Group 1
Prizemoney: $650,000
2010 Winner: Hot Danish

The Doomben 10000 is the premier sprint event of the winter carnival at Doomben and always attracts a good class field. The race is typically taken out by a more than handy galloper and the weight-for-age conditions of the race lends itself to the better performed horses entered.

The Gr1 BTC Cup held two weeks earlier at the same track has been a good guide in recent years, with Apache Cat (2008) taking out the BTC Cup & Doomben 10000 double in the same year, and in 2009 he finished second in the BTC Cup before scoring in this event for the second year in a row. Takeover Target finished second in the 2007 BTC Cup before winning this race.

The honour roll for this event sees many of Australia's best sprinters name etched upon it, with horses such as Apache Cat (2008-09), Takeover Target (2007), Bel Esprit (2003), Falvelon (2001-02) and Chief De Beers twice in 1995 & 1998, being winners of this race.

Many horses from this race will go on and tackle the major sprint race of the Brisbane winter carnival which is the Gr1 Stradbroke Handicap in a fortnight at Eagle Farm. Black Piranha (2nd in 2009) went on to win the Stradbroke next start after placing in this race.

Melito (3rd in 2010) went on to run second in the Stradbroke Handicap at her next start before winning the premier mares race of the winter carnival, the Gr1 Winter Stakes, on the last day of the winter carnival at Eagle Farm.

Hot Danish (2010) won the Gr1 All Aged Stakes at Randwick during the Sydney autumn racing carnival before tasting success in this event. Recent winners of the Doomben 10000 include Apache Cat in successive years in 2008 and 2009.

2010 Doomben 10000: Hot Danish jumped brilliantly from her good barrier and settled just behind the pace on the fence and as they straightened up she sprinted to the lead and kicked clear for a most impressive win. Whobegotyou flew home to finish a valiant second after always being well back in the field, while the filly Melito ran home fairly well for third.
