Stradbroke Handicap History
The Stradbroke Handicap was first run back in 1890 over six furlongs (1200m) with Pyrrhus out-sprinting its rivals.The race distance was extended to seven furlongs in 1953 before the metrication of horse racing in 1972 saw it changed to 1400m.
The race was not held between the war years 1942-45.
But when it comes to the pandemic, the Stradbroke Handicap was one of the two Group Ones that went ahead in Queensland in 2020 after Racing Queensland scrapped most of their winter carnival as a result of the five-zone system implemented to protect the industry against the Coronavirus pandemic. The other G1 race was the J.J. Atkins. However, the Queensland Derby, which was previously held on this day, did not go ahead in 2020 and has since been changed to a new date.
Eight horses have all managed two victories in the race: Black Piranha, Rough Habit, Daybreak Lover, Lucky Ring, Petrol Lager, Highland, Gold Tie and Babel. One of the more impressive wins came from Divide And Rule from 1971 as detailed by Luke Sheehan's Friday Flashback piece.
Notable winners: Sincero, Black Piranha, Sniper's Bullet, St. Basil, Thorn Park, Private Steer, Show A Heart, Toledo, Dane Ripper, All Our Mob, Rough Habit, Campaign King, Daybreak Lover and more...

Stradbroke Handicap Form Indicators
We'll have key details on the Stradbroke Handicap 2024 form indicators and field once it is released on the Wednesday before the race.At 1400m, the Stradbroke presents an interesting challenge for trainers and punters alike. Races over this distance can attract both star sprinters – for whom the race would be their longest trip – and middle-distance horses who may race up to 1800 or 2000 metres.
There are just four other unrestricted Group One races over 1400m in Australia: the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes, CF Orr Stakes and Futurity Stakes (all at Caulfield), and the All Aged Stakes at Randwick.
Some of the form factors to consider are: Since 1991, nine winners have come from the Doomben 10,000, while three have come from The Goodwood in South Australia. Two of them have come from the Sport Cup (1800m) at the Gold Coast but on both those occasions, the winner was Rough Habit who won consecutive Stradbrokes in 1991 and 1992.
Winning form isn't always necessary to take out the Stradbroke as only eight winners since 1991 have won their lead-up race. Eight have finished as the runner-up heading into the Stradbroke, while four have finished in third and fourth heading into this G1. Strangely, there have been two horses since 1991 who have finished ninth in their lead-up race, those being Danasinga (1996) and Mid Summer Music (2012), while 2011 winner Sincero was even further back in 11th in the QTC Cup in his lead-up race.
Seven horses have won the Stradbroke in straight years, but Rough Habit (1991-92) and Black Piranha (2009-10) are the only ones to do it in the last 70 years. Rough Habit also carried the equal-most weight since 1983 lugging home 58.5kg to win, along with 1988 winner Campaign King.
An inside barrier isn't always necessary to win the race either. Barrier one has seen three winners in this race since 1983, while barrier three and barrier 18 have both recorded four wins. In fact, since 1983, 20 winners have been from Gate 10 or higher.
Being a favourite doesn't guarantee a Stradbroke win either, with 15 of the last 23 winners starting at $11 or higher. Indeed, three winners have started at $31, those being Mr Baritone (2008), Mid Summer Music (2012) and River Lad (2014). The shortest winner since 2000 has been the John O'Shea-trained 2003 winner Private Steer at $3.40 after her second-place effort in the Doomben 10,000, while Black Piranha went around at $4 for his first Stradbroke win in 2009 but no one loved him the following year and he won at $21.
There have been several jockeys who have won the race twice since 1983, those being Chris Munce, Danny Nikolic, Gary Palmer, Jim Cassidy, Kerrin McEvoy and Stephen King. 1999 Melbourne Cup-winning hoop John Marshall also won the Stradbroke twice in consecutive years in 1988 and 1989 but sadly passed away at just 50 years of age in 2018. The most recent to achieve the double was Craig Wiliams on Tofane in 2021 after he also won aboard Sniper's Bullet in 2007.
Since 1983, Bart Cummings has the most wins as trainer with three victories from 1988 to 1997. Con Karakatsanis won it twice in consecutive years with Black Piranha in 2009 and 2010 while John Wheeler also achieved that feat with Rough Habit in 1991 and 1992. Michael Morney has also won the race twice with 2021 winner Tofane and also with Mr Baritone in 2008.
Danny Duke also won the Stradbroke in consecutive years with Daybreak Lover in the 1980s. Daybreak Lover won in 1984 and was then retired to stud for a year at just three years of age. But having served 59 mares during 1985, Daybreak Lover came out of retirement and returned to Danny Duke and in an incredible training feat, Duke managed to oversee the horse winning another Group One race when he took out the 1986 Stradbroke as a five-year-old.

Stradbroke Handicap 2024 Horses
Sprinters dominate the recent editions of the Stradbroke Handicap, and perhaps none stand taller than Santa Ana Lane – Anthony Freedman’s champion gelding who won the race in 2018. It was Santa Ana Lane’s third Group One win after the 2017 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes and the 2018 Goodwood.He would win two more - the 2018 VRC Sprint Classic and the 2019 TJ Smith Stakes – amassing more than $7 million in prizemoney. The Stradbroke win was a typically dominant effort by Santa Ana Lane, who has made a habit of comfortably dismissing high-class fields in Group One races.
Let's take a look at some of the leading market chances below:

We'll advise you on the Stradbroke Handicap 2024 scratchings when they're declared on the Saturday morning before the race.Scratchings are always a possibility in racing, no matter which race a horse is contesting, whether it be a Group 1 or BM58.
These scratchings can occur in the days leading up to a race, on race morning or even in the minutes before a race.
The trainer's decision on scratching a horse will often depend on several factors like the nature of the horse or the status of the track. Sometimes these scratchings can be tactical as well, with the trainer opting to run their horse in an easier event or a race where the barrier draw is more favourable to the horse.
If you've placed a Win/Place bet on horse in race (with TAB or another bookie) and your runner is scratched, you can get a refund equal to the value of your bet.
