Ladbrokes Stradbroke Season 2026

That's a wrap on what was truly a 2026 Ladbrokes Stradbroke Season to remember!

Across seven spectacular Saturdays from May to June, Eagle Farm and Doomben came alive with world-class racing, unforgettable trackside moments, and the vibrant atmosphere that makes Queensland's premier racing carnival so iconic.

From premium hospitality experiences and exceptional dining to elite Group 1 racing, fabulous fashion, and outstanding entertainment, the 2026 Ladbrokes Stradbroke Season delivered unforgettable moments on and off the track.

There was hardly a dry eye in the house when Queensland's own Rothfire turned back the clock to snatch the Doomben 10,000 at big odds.

Champion trainer Chris Waller secured his 200th Group 1 win with Birdman in the Doomben Cup.

The stage was barely big enough to fit all the connections of Fireball Miss, after Ciaron Maher claimed his second Queensland Oaks victory at Eagle Farm.

And Taylor Marshall made it a maiden Group 1 victory to remember, piloting Spicy Martini across the finish line first in Queensland’s most prestigious race - the Ladbrokes Stradbroke Handicap.

Coffee and pastries were appreciated by those up early for the annual Breakfast with the Stars and Ladbrokes Stradbroke Barrier Draw.

The thrill of an auction took over the Royal International Convention Centre for the Ladbrokes Stradbroke Calcutta & Luncheon.

The crowds flocked to three installments of Fashions on the Field to witness some of the toughest sartorial competition.

And who could forget the EPIC afterparty hosted by Hot Dub Time Machine after the last on Ladbrokes Stradbroke Day!

Thank you to everyone who joined us throughout the season and helped make this year's carnival our biggest and most exciting yet.

We look forward to welcoming you back for another incredible Ladbrokes Stradbroke Season in 2027!
