    Doncaster Handicap (GR1)
                                   2024 total prize money: $4,000,000 
                      1st $2,300,000, 2nd $750,000, 3rd $375,000
The first Doncaster Handicap was run at Randwick over 1 mile in April 1866 and was won by Judge Cheeke’s, Dundee.
In 1879 the distance was changed to 9 furlongs, this change only lasted until 1884 when the race distance was changed back to 1 mile.

Two horses named Sir William have won the Doncaster, the first in 1871 & the second 1n 1890.

The smallest field to contest the Doncaster was in 1867 when just 6 runners faced the starter for the second running of the race.
1892 & 1893 saw the biggest field of runners contest the Doncaster when 36 horses lined up for the big Randwick mile.

Popular jockey Jack Toohey achieved a rare treble in the 1920s when he won three consecutive Doncasters: 1920 Sydney Damsel – 1921 Speciality – 1922 Julia Grey.

Glen Boss repeated this rare feat when he too won three in a row:
2006 Racing To Win – 2007 Haradasun – 2008 Triple Honour, a further four wins to Boss in 1996 Sprint By – 2004 Private Steer – 2015 Kermadec and 2019 Brutal makes him the most successful rider in Doncaster history with seven winners.

Father and daughter trainers, T. J. Smith and Gai Waterhouse share training honours for the Doncaster with 7 winners each, including 4 consecutive wins by Waterhouse between 1994 & 1997.

T. J. Smith: 1968 Unpainted – 1969 Bye Bye – 1972 Gunsynd
1973 Analie – 1976 Authentic Heir – 1980 Iko – 1988 Lygon Arms.

Gai Waterhouse: 1994 Pharaoh – 1995 Pahraoh – 1996 Sprint By
1997 Secret Savings – 2001 Assertive Lad – 2003 Grand Armee
2012 More Joyous.

Ten horses have won the Doncaster twice: 
Mildura 1940/41 – Blue Legend 1946/47 – Slogan II 1956/57
Tudor Hill 1959/60 – Fine And Dandy 1961 & 63 – Super Impose 1990/91
Pharaoh 1994/95 – Sunline 1999 & 2003 – Sacred Falls 2013/14
Mr Brightside  2022/23.

The great miler, Super Impose holds a special place in Australian racing history, being the only galloper two win two consecutive Doncaster Handicaps and two consecutive Epsom Handicaps
