Doomben Cup meeting abandoned - Stakes Races Moved

Breednet - Sunday May 22

The Group One Doomben Cup meeting which was postponed from Saturday to Wednesday has now been abandoned with stakes races rescheduled throughout the coming weeks including three to this Saturday and involving some mares set to go under the hammer at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale this week.

The Group One Doomben Cup, Group Two Roses and Group 3 BRC Sprint have been moved to this Saturday at Eagle Farm which will create a bumper program including three Group One races – Kingsford-Smith Stakes, Queensland Derby and Doomben Cup.

There are six mares still set to go under the hammer at the Magic Millions Broodmare Sale this week which were obviously due to race before sale but now the sale will come before they can run in their respective races.
