The Brisbane Cup

Click Here to go back to Index


            Brisbane Cup

First run in 1866, the Brisbane Cup was the centrepiece of the newly formed Queensland Turf Club’s three-day autumn carnival. The Brisbane Cup was run on the second day of the carnival at the QTC’s Eagle Farm racecourse, which had opened the previous year.
The first Brisbane Cup was contested over a distance of 2 ¼ miles and was won by Mr. J. T. (Toby) Ryan’s grey gelding, Forester in a time of 4:28s.

It wasn’t long before the southern stables started to make the trip north in search of the lucrative prizemoney on offer during the Queensland autumn carnival.
In 1872, legendary NSW trainer ‘Honest John Tait’ made the trip north with two of his best gallopers, The Quack and J.L.
Despite the presence of Tait’s pair in the Cup, the parochial Queensland punters rallied around Zanco and sent him out a short-priced favourite to beat the southern raiders, and Zanco didn’t let them down.
After a head and head battle down the entire home straight, Zanco prevailed by a short half head over J.L., with Tait’s other candidate, The Quack, finishing in fourth place.
Interesting to note that The Quack would go on to win the Melbourne Cup that same year.

Throughout its long history, the Brisbane Cup has had many changes to its distance.
The first running in 1866 was over a distance of 2 ¼ miles.
In 1867 the race was shortened to 1 ¾ miles, though this only lasted for one year as it was changed again the following year to 2 miles. The race remained at 2 miles until 1883 when it was again shortened to 1 ¾ miles. It stayed at 1 ¾ miles until 1889 when it was reinstated as a 2 mile event. 

 In 1946 the race was shortened to 1 ½ miles but was again restored to a 2 mile event the following year. It remained a 2 mile (3200m) race until 2007 when the distance was shortened to 2400m, 2007 also saw the Brisbane Cup lose its Group 1 status when it was downgraded to a Group 2 event and that’s where it currently stands – 2400m Gr2.

Although the Brisbane Cup has never held the prestige of some of its southern Cups counterparts, many great gallopers can still be found on the winners’ honour-list.
Gallopers like Fitz Grafton, Spear Chief, Hydrogen, Redcraze, Tulloch, Balmerino and Reckless, to name a few.

Six gallopers have won the Brisbane Cup twice – Zanco 1872 & 74
Fitz Grafton 1904 & 05 – St. Valorey 1932 & 34 – Spear Chief 1938 & 39 
Fair Patton 1964 & 65 – Desert Chill 1995 & 97.

It’s only fitting that a Queensland jockey should hold riding honours for the Brisbane Cup, and that jockey is Chris Munce.
Munce has ridden the winner on 5 occasions:
1992 Grooming – 1995 Desert Chill – 1997 Desert Chill
2010 Crossthestart – 2011 Tullamore.


Training honours go to the legendary T.J. Smith who has won the race on six occasions: 1956 Redcraze – 1961 Tulloch – 1965 Fair Patton
1971 Royal Shah – 1974 Igloo – 1984 Chiamare.
