2026 Group I Doomben 10,000 – Barrier Draw

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday May 12

The $1.5million Group I BRC Doomben 10,000 (1200m) is run this Saturday and has attracted a full field with three emergencies that include quality three year-old colts with aspirations towards stud careers in Beadman and Napoleonic with the former now into the field following the scratching of Lady of Camelot.

Connections of those two colts will face an anxious wait to see if they gain a start with gate one drawn by Beadman, a last start winner of the Group III Gold Coast Guineas last Saturday and Napoleonic is tackling the race first up from a spell and has drawn gate 10 with James McDonald to ride.

With 10 Group I winners engaged the race looms as a top class contest with 2024 Golden Slipper winner Lady of Camelot now a scratching after tangling with a stingray during a beacjh swim on Tuesday morning. The injury she sustained is likely to put her out of play also for Royal Ascot.

Blue Diamond winning colt Devil Night has won only one race, but gets a great chance here to make it two as he’s coming in hot off a second placing to Tempted in a fast run Group II Arrowfield Sprint and has barrier eight.
