Doomben Cup

           Doomben Cup

 The first Doomben Cup was run over ten furlongs at Doomben racecourse on May 27 1933 and was won by Mr. C. P. Brown’s, Pentheus.
Doomben was the new racecourse in Brisbane, with the Doomben 10,000 having been run at its inaugural race meeting the previous Saturday.

In 1938, the race distance was increased to eleven furlongs.
From the end of 1941 until mid-1944, Doomben racecourse was used by the military as an army base for Australian and American troops. During these years, all Doomben races were transferred to the Albion Park sand track. The distance changed back to ten furlongs during these years (1942-1945).
In 1946 Doomben racecourse was reopened with the mighty Bernborough easily winning the Doomben Cup after having won the Doomben 10,000 the previous Saturday.

Bernborough was the first, and still remains the only galloper to complete the Doomben 10,000/Doomben Cup double in the same calendar year.
Bernborough still holds the record for the highest weight ever carried to victory in a Doomben Cup – 10 stone 11 pounds (68.5kg).

In 1993 another record was set when the great New Zealand champion Rough Habit won his third successive Doomben Cup.
Rough Habit’s ½ head second to Barrosa Boy in the 1992 Doomben 10,000 robbed him of the honour of equalling the mighty Bernborough’s Doomben Double.

Throughout the history of the Doomben Cup, the distance continued to change marginally. In 2012 the distance was set at 2000m, where it still stands.

Training honours are shared by two trainers, each having trained the winner on three occasions:
T. J. Smith: 1973 Lord Nelson – 1976 Cheyne Walk – 1978 Marceau 
J. R. Wheeler: 1991/92/93 Rough Habit

Riding Honours are shared by three jockeys each having ridden three winners: 
M. McCarten: 1933 Pentheus – 1934 Whittingham – 1940 Beaulivre 
G. Moore: 1949: Rio Fe – 1953 French Echo – 1958 Book Link 
J. A. Cassidy: 1991/92/93 Rough Habit
