Celebrating Two Defining Moments in Queensland Racing – 50 Years Apart!

Join us as we honor two unforgettable milestones in Queensland racing history.

🏇 50 years ago, jockey Graham Cook achieved an incredible feat, winning the Stradbroke Handicap, Doomben 10,000, and Doomben Cup in the same year – a triumph that still echoes through the racing world.

🏆 Fast forward to today, and Queensland racing history has been made again with Knight’s Choice claiming a breakthrough victory in the Melbourne Cup – a moment that cemented Queensland’s place on the national stage.

This special event brings together racing greats, including legendary jockey Graham Cook, Knight’s Choice’s trainers Sheila Laxon and John Symonds, and Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Robbie Dolan.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to relive history, hear firsthand stories from the champions, and celebrate Queensland’s racing legacy!
