Ladbrokes Secures Major Sponsorship of Queensland’s Premier Race: The Stradbroke Handicap

Brisbane Racing Club (BRC) and Ladbrokes have today announced a strengthened partnership, extending to Queensland’s most prestigious thoroughbred racing event, the 133rd Stradbroke Raceday, and the broader Stradbroke Season.

Under the expanded multi-year agreement, Ladbrokes will become the major sponsor of the next four Stradbroke Racedays, while also continuing as a major partner of Brisbane Racing Club’s Stradbroke Season through to 2029.

The extended partnership further reinforces Ladbrokes’ position as a leading supporter of Australian racing and the national wagering market, with a particular focus on Queensland as Australia’s premier winter racing destination.

Brisbane Racing Club CEO Karl deKroo said the agreement represented a natural evolution of an already strong and successful partnership. Since 1890 the Ladbrokes Stradbroke Handicap remains a cornerstone of Queensland’s racing calendar.
