How to bet on the JJ Atkins with Bet Right 

The JJ Atkins is one of Australia’s premier Group 1 races for two-year-olds, held annually in mid-June during the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival at Eagle Farm Racecourse. This prestigious 1600-meter contest draws some of the most promising young thoroughbreds in the country, offering a glimpse into the future stars of Australian racing. With a rich prize pool and a storied history, the JJ Atkins is a key milestone on the juvenile racing calendar.

First run in 1893 and officially named after legendary trainer Jim Atkins in 2009, the race has become a proving ground for future champions. Its mile distance tests the stamina, maturity, and class of young horses, setting it apart from the sprint-focused juvenile events earlier in the season. Over the years, winners of the JJ Atkins have gone on to stellar careers, including Group 1 victories and lasting impact at stud. As each year passes, the JJ Atkins continues to be a showcase of raw talent and untapped potential—an event where the stars of tomorrow make their mark.
