The Queensland Turf Club, operator of Eagle Farm Racecourse, (until 2009) was formed in 1863.
The Club was given a grant of 322 acres of land and hosted their first race meeting at
Eagle Farm in 1865. To support its successful Brisbane Cup meeting, the Queensland Turf Club
committee decided in 1890 to launch a great sprint race - the Stradbroke Handicap.
Now 126 years on in history, the AAMI Stradbroke has grown to become Australia's premier sprint race.

Eagle Farm Racecourse is the largest capacity racecourse in Queensland, hosting
no less that 40 race meetings each season. The highlight of the racing calendar is
certainly the Queensland Winter Carnival in June, which encompasses
the state's finest social and fashion events and of course,
the state's most prestigious racing with feature races including the
AAMI Stradbroke, BMW Queensland Derby, Conrad Treasury Brisbane
Cup and the T.J. Smith.
