The XXXX Doomben Cup is the premier distance event of the Doomben racing carnival each winter in Brisbane. The weight-for-age conditions of the race gives the better performed horses an advantage and the race itself has been won by many of Australia's top gallopers, including Intergaze (1999), Might And Power (1998), Juggler (1996), Danewin (1995) and Queensland favourite Rough Habit in three consecutive years from 1991 to 1993.
The Gr2 Hollindale Stakes (1800m) held two weeks previously at the Gold Coast is the best guide to this race with Above Deck (2006) being the last horse to win both events. Mr Bureaucrat (2002), Might And Power (1998), Danewin (1995), Durbridge (1994), Rough Habit (1991-92) all won the Hollindale Stakes before winning this race.
The Gr2 PJ O'Shea Stakes is the natural progression for stayers contesting the Doomben Cup and Scenic Shot (2009) ran fifth in the Hollindale Stakes before winning this event and he then went on to win the PJ O'Shea Stakes and Brisbane Cup later in the carnival.
Recent winners of the XXXX Doomben Cup have been Sarrera (2008), Cinque Cento (2007) and Above Deck in 2006.
