History

The race was changed to the Doomben 10,000 after the £10,000 prize money on offer, which at the time was the richest sprint in Australia.
Notable sprinters to win the race are Chief De Beers (1995, 1998), Falvelon (2001-02), Prince Trialia in 1990–91, and Black Onyx in 1969–70. Included in the list are former greats Bernborough in 1946 and Manikato in 1979. In July 1951, then apprentice Aboriginal jockey Merv Maynard (whose career spanned nearly five decades, in which he rode over 1,500 winners) was heading for a win on Waratah King when the horse came down, and he was thrown. Coniston went on to win the race. Recently, champion sprinters Apache Cat and
