Stradbroke Handicap info
Date: Saturday June 12th, 2010
Track: Eagle Farm Racecourse, Brisbane
Distance: 1400 metres
Race Type: Open Handicap
Status: Group 1
Prizemoney: $1,000,000
2009 Winner: Black Piranha

The Stradbroke Handicap was first run in 1890 and is the biggest race of the Brisbane winter carnival being worth $1,000,000 in prizemoney since 1996. The Stradbroke was named after Lord Stradbroke, who was a relative of Admiral Rous, an architect of the weight for age scale.

The race itself is one of the premier sprint races held in Australia each year and is a tough 1400m handicap which always attracts a big field of talented gallopers. It is a high pressure race and suits horses who can run out a very strong 1400m and is not a race for the feint hearted. Strong milers are well suited in the Stradbroke.

Top horses such as Dane Ripper (1997), All Our Mob (1994) and Rough Habit (1991-92) have won this race and it is a much anticipated race on the Australian racing calendar each year.

Races such as the Gr1 Doomben 10,000 and Gr2 QTC Cup are typical lead up races to the Stradbroke and Black Piranha (2009) ran second in the Doomben 10,000 prior to winning this event, while Ortensia (3rd in 2009) won the QTC Cup before her third placing in this race.

The Stradbroke Handicap has been won in recent times by Mr Baritone (2008), Snipers Bullet (2007) and La Montagna in 2006.
