Race history

In 1890 the Stradbroke Handicap was a Principal race run over six furlongs (approx 1,200m), when it was won by Pyrrhus.

The distance was changed in 1953 to 1,400 metres.

The only two-year-old to win the race was Wiggle, carrying 46.5 kg in 1958. The 1,400 metre race and track record is 1:20.2 established by Toledo in 1998.
