    Run over 1,200 metres down the famous Flemington ‘Straight Six’ in early March, the Newmarket Handicap is a Group 1 sprint showdown run and won since 1874.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The handicap showdown offers $2 million in prize money and attracts a class field of sprint stars every Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Newmarket Handicap is the only other Australian thoroughbred race along with the iconic Melbourne Cup<\/a> in which 24 horses are permitted to start in the final field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There have been five dual winners of the Newmarket Handicap throughout history, most recently Redkirk Warrior (2017, 2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Undefeated turf great Black Caviar holds the current Newmarket Handicap record having won the 2011 edition of the event in 1:07.36.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In 2022 Roch ‘N’ Horse won at 100\/1 before returning in the spring to frank the Newmarket Handicap form with a Group 1 Champions Sprint<\/a> (1200m) victory during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 2024 Newmarket Handicap was won by Godolphin-raced Cylinder handing the stable and trainer James Cummings back-to-back wins with three-year-olds following the 2023 victory by In Secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In Secret was originally set to be ridden by Jamie Kah but she fell in an earlier event nearly losing her life. Jockey Dean Holland picked up the winning ride but would tragically pass away in a Victorian fall the following month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Dean Holland Trophy was created for the winning Newmarket Handicap rider from 2024 onwards with the inaugural going to Kah who atoned for her horror day the year prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 2025 Newmarket Handicap winner Joliestar franked her elite sprinting credentials that autumn with a brave second in the All Aged Stakes<\/a>, before returning in the spring for another strong campaign highlighted by a third placing in the Champions Sprint. The form stacked up beautifully too, with runner\u2011up Headwall going on to finish third in the TJ Smith and then running second in Perth\u2019s The Quokka, further reinforcing the strength of that Newmarket edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
