View additional details including finishing times, as well as the jockeys and weights carried to victory by the winners of the Doncaster Mile Handicap dating back to 1930.

A complete list of all previous Doncaster Mile winners throughout history can be found further down the page.

Dundee was the inaugural Doncaster Mile winner in 1866 when the event was first known as the Doncaster Handicap.

There were officially two Doncaster Handicap winners in 1871  with Sir William and Lottery running a dead heat for first.

The late TJ Smith co-holds the record having prepared seven Doncaster Mile winners equal with his daughter Gai Waterhouse. Chris Waller is the next most successful Doncaster Mile winning trainer with six winners to date.

Super Impose (1990 and 1991) made history winning both back-to-back editions of the Doncaster Mile and the spring’s equivalent race, the Epsom Handicap, twice.

There have been 10 multiple Doncaster Mile winners throughout history with Mr Brightside (2022, 2023); Sacred Falls (2013, 2014); Sunline (1999, 2002); Pharaoh (1994, 1995): Super Impose (1990, 1991); Fine And Dandy (1961, 1963); Tudor Hill (1959, 1960); Slogan II (1956, 1957); Blue Legend (1946, 1947); and Mildura (1940, 1941) all taking out the event on two occasions.

Winx (2016) is one of the most famous recent Doncaster Mile winners with Chris Waller’s champion mare going on to win the Cox Plate a record four times over her illustrious career.

Happy Clapper holds the current Doncaster Mile record winning in 2018 in a time of 1 minute 33.17 seconds.

Brutal (2019) and Celestial Legend (2024) are the latest three-year-old Doncaster Mile winners.

Sunline for her first victory in 1999 was the last Doncaster Mile winning filly. Sunline would return three years later and also win the 2002 Doncaster Mile.

Nettoyer (2020) was the last Doncaster Mile winning mare.

The 2022 Doncaster Mile winner Mr Brightside scored a notable upset at $20 to hand trainers Ben & JD Hayes with their first Group 1 success. Mr Brightside went on to frank the Doncaster Mile form returning the following autumn to win the $5 million The All-Star Mile in 2023.

The Doncaster Mile 2023 winner was Mr Brightside again with the Ben & JD Hayes-trained defending champion returning to go back-to-back in the race on the back of a lead-up victory in The All-Star Mile to salute for the punters as the $6 Doncaster favourite after winning at bigger odds with less weight 12 months prior.

The 2024 Doncaster Mile winner was the Les Bridge-trained last start Randwick Guineas winning Dundeel colt Celestial Legend ($6.50) who relished the 49kg lightweight to come from nowhere and post a narrow late triumph.

The 2025 Doncaster Mile winner is TBC and will be known when the Randwick Group 1 mile classic takes place on Day 1 of Sydney’s The Championships on Saturday the 5th of April 2025.
