The Star Stradbroke Season action returns to Queensland’s racing headquarters at Eagle Farm for a day that has firmly cemented its standing in the carnival calendar after debuting in 2021.

Ladbrokes Derby Day boasts two Group 1 $1 million races this year: the signature Ladbrokes Queensland Derby and Kingsford-Smith Cup, which is the second leg of Queensland’s Group 1 sprint Triple Crown. The elevation of the Kingsford-Smith Cup to seven figures means The Star Stradbroke Season now comprises eight races valued at $1 million or more in racing prizemoney. The Group 2 $1 million Aquis Stallions Sires Produce Stakes is also run on this day, while a ticket into The Star Stradbroke Handicap is on offer for the winner of the Group 3 Fred Best Classic.

The fashion theme for the day is classic Derby Day ‘black and white’, with patrons encouraged to express their creativity and enter the first of our season’s Fashions on the Field competitions.

Rounding out an exceptional Ladbrokes Derby Day experience is a varied range of hospitality functions at which you can relax, wine and dine in style, yet not miss a moment of the dynamic contests on the track.
