Included are finishing times, as well as jockey and weights carried to victory by the winners of the Doncaster Prelude\u00a0<\/strong>from 2010 – the present before a complete list of past Doncaster Mile winning horses and placegetters<\/strong> found further down the page.<\/p>\n

Bring Home was the inaugural Doncaster Prelude winner back in 1985.<\/p>\n

Yao Dash holds the current Doncaster Prelude record<\/strong> over the 1500m winning in 2021 in a time of 1 minute 28:34 seconds.<\/p>\n

Skyerush (2013) was the last Doncaster Prelude winning mare<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mr Mozart (2022) was the latest three-year-old Doncaster Prelude winner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 2022 Doncaster Prelude winner was the Hawkes Racing-trained three-year-old Mr Mozart who saluted for the punters as the $3.50 favourite in the rescheduled event that took place at Newcastle Racecourse.<\/p>\n

While the Doncaster Prelude serves as a traditional lead-up to the Group 1 Doncaster Mile<\/a> (1600m) no horse has done the double as yet.<\/p>\n

The Doncaster Prelude 2023 winner<\/strong> was the Hawkes Racing-trained Bandersnatch<\/strong> ($7.50) who easily accounted for his rivals with a two-length success on way to the Group 1 in seven days’ time.<\/p>\n

The 2024 Doncaster Prelude winner was the Ciaron Maher-trained odds-on favourite Another Wil ($1.75F)\u00a0<\/strong>who made it four wins on the trot and now heads into the Group 1 Doncaster Mile field on the quick back-up.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Doncaster Prelude winner was eight-year-old Just Folk ($14)\u00a0<\/strong>prepared by Gavin Bedggood with the veteran galloper leading all-the-way to win by over a length ahead of a quick back-up into the Doncaster Mile field.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Doncaster Prelude winner was seven-year-old Shalaa gelding Welwal at $11 <\/strong>for trainers Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr with jockey Zac Lloyd aboard on 55.5kg from barrier 2 to win by 1.5 lengths on a Soft (7) track in a time of 1:30.19.<\/p>\n
