Since the mid-1860s, the finest three-plus-year-olds in the land have converged on Royal Randwick to race the Doncaster Mile.
Run over 1600 metres, a litany of household names have reigned supreme at the Sydney track over the past 150-plus years including the eight horses that have won in back-to-back years.
From the aptly named Aussie runner which claimed the inaugural title to a champion gelding of contemporary fame, here is every horse to have run and won the Doncaster Mile.
