Brisbane Cup
The Brisbane Cup is a Brisbane Racing Club Group 2 Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-olds and upwards, run under handicap conditions over a distance of 2400 metres at Eagle Farm Racecourse, Brisbane during the Queensland Winter Racing Carnival. Prize money is A$400,000.
Due to track reconstruction of Eagle Farm Racecourse for the 2014-15 racing season the event was transferred to Doomben Racecourse with a slightly shorter distance of 2200 metres.
History
The race was named as the Victory Cup in 1946 when racing was resumed after World War II in Queensland.Distance
