Epsom Handicap

Click Here to go back to Index


         Epsom Handicap (GR1)

                                   2024 total prize money: $1,500,000 
                      1st $870,000, 2nd $285,000, 3rd $142,500
The first Epsom Handicap was run over 1 mile at Randwick racecourse in September 1865. In 1879 the distance was increased to 1 mile and 1 furlong, this change only lasted until 1884 when the race was changed back to a 1 mile event.

The first running of the Epsom handicap was won by Judge Alfred Cheeke’s, Dundee. Dundee would go on to win the inaugural running of the Doncaster handicap the following autumn, thus becoming the first galloper to win the big Randwick mile double.

Since Dundee’s double success, 7 other horses have completed the big Randwick mile double in the same racing season, they are: 
Marvel 1891/92 – Chatham 1933/34 – Blue Legend 1946/47
Broker’s Tip 1969/70 – Gunsynd 1971/72 – Authentic Heir 1975/76 
and Super Impose 1990/91.
Only two horses have completed the Doncaster/Epsom double in the same calendar year, Blue Legend in 1946 and the immortal Super Impose in 1990 and again in 1991.

Seven horses have won the Epsom twice: 
Masquerade 1881/82 – Melodrama 1907/1908 – Amounis 1926 & 28
Chatham 1932/33 – Toi Port 1963/64 – Super Impose 1990/91 
& Desert War 2004/05.

The smallest field to contest an Epsom Handicap occurred in 1867 when just five runners faced the starter.
1913 saw a field of thirty-eight runners line up for the Epsom, this is the largest field to ever contest the big spring mile at Randwick.

As is the case with the Doncaster Handicap, father and daughter trainers, 
T. J. Smith and Gai Waterhouse share the training honours with 7 winners each.

T. J. Smith: 1968 Speed Of Sound – 1971 Gunsynd – 1973 Lord Nelson
1975 Authentic Heir – 1979 Imposing – 1980 Bold Diplomat – 1986 Chanteclair.

Gai Waterhouse: 1997 Iron Horse – 2002 Excellerator – 2004 Desert War
2005 Desert War – 2008 Theseo – 2009 Rock Kingdom – 2012 Fat Al.

Riding honours rest with the nineteenth century jockey, Donald Nicholson, who, from 1880 to 1884, rode 5 consecutive Epsom winners. Nicholson, who was one of the best lightweight jockeys of his time was tragically killed when he became part of the carnage of an horrific sixteen horse fall during the running of the 1885 Caulfield Cup.
Donald Nicholson’s winners were:
1880 Master Avenel – 1881 Waxy – 1882 Masquerade – 1883 Masquerade 
1884 Espiegle

As mentioned on the Doncaster page, Super Impose holds a very special place in Australian racing history being the only galloper in history to win the two big Randwick miles’ on two occasions.
