History

The racecourse was inaugurated in 1933 and subsequently was shut down during the Second World War, when it was used by allied troops during the Pacific War. In 1946, when the course reopened, the TM Ahern Cup and the Doomben Cup were held for the first time. The Doomben Cup is now considered to be one of the best middle-distance racing events in the country.

In 1982, a major upgrade to Doomben gave it new world class facilities. The racecourse is serviced by Doomben railway station.

Eagle Farm Racecourse is located nearby in the same suburb.
