The Stradbroke Handicap, initially run in 1890 as a Principal race over six furlongs, was originally won by Pyrrhus. In 1953 the race increased in distance to seven furlongs, before it converted, along with Australia to the metric system, and therefore became 1,400 metres. In 1980, the Stradbroke Handicap changed from being a Principal race, to a Group 1 race. Between the years 1942 and 1945, the race did not take place; this was due to the war efforts.
