The Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival officially kicks off this weekend at Doomben Racecourse with the Group 1 Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 (1200m).

While the field size is small at nine runners, it’s packed with class.
Leading the charge is the Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman-trained I Wish I Win.
The five-year-old gelding is the clear favourite in Doomben 10,000 betting after claiming the 2023 TJ Smith Stakes and boasting consistent performances throughout last spring.
He’ll be ridden by champion jockey James McDonald from the coveted barrier one position.
The biggest threats to I Wish I Win come in the form of Joe Pride‘s Private Eye and Chris Waller‘s Espiona.
Private Eye, a dual The Everest place-getter, brings a strong record and will be ridden by Blake Shinn.
Espiona, meanwhile, is aiming to become the first mare to win the race since English in 2018 and will need to overcome the widest barrier (nine).
Trainer Pride also saddles up the 2022 winner, Mazu.
After a confidence-boosting victory in the Group 3 Hall Mark Stakes last time out, Mazu will be looking to add a second Doomben 10,000 title to his record.
Several other runners have a shot at an upset, including the classy mares Bella Nipotina and Chain Of Lightning (the reigning TJ Smith Stakes winner).
The Ladbrokes Doomben 10,000 field also includes talented filly Stefi Magnetica out to be the third three-year-old in as many years to beat home the older sprinters in the event.
With a mix of proven champions, up-and-coming stars, and a small field creating an unpredictable atmosphere, the 2024 Doomben 10,000 promises to be a thrilling race.
