The first running of the Summer Cup took place at Randwick Racecourse on December 26, 1880.
Contested over a distance of 1 ½ miles, the race was won by Mr. James Dargin’s five-year-old bay gelding, Milbrodale.
The Summer Cup soon became the highlight of Sydney’s summer racing season, a time of the year when racing slowed-down following the recently completed spring carnival.
In 1892 the AJC decided that another feature race was needed to compliment the Summer Cup and so a six furlong sprint called the Villiers Stakes was added to the Christmas racing program.
The two days of racing saw the Villiers Stakes run on Christmas Eve and the Summer Cup on Boxing Day.
In 1894 the distance was increased to 1 ¾ miles.
In 1897 a programing change saw the Villiers and the Summer Cup both run on the first day of the summer meeting. This change only lasted until 1906 when the two summer feature races were returned to their seperate scheduling.
Another distance change occurred in 1900 when the Summer Cup was reduced to 1 mile and 5 furlongs and this change remained until 1953 when it was returned to its original 1 ½ mile trip.
When Australian racing adopted the metric measurement system in 1972, the distance was altered to the metric equivalent of 1 ½ miles ie 2400m.
A final change in distance took place in 2013 when the Summer Cup was reduced to 2000m.
Four horses have won the Villiers Stakes/Summer Cup double in the same year:
1952 Carioca – 1978 Dear John – 1984 Rising Prince – 2005 Aqua D’Amore.
Five horses have won the Summer Cup on more than one occasion:
Vespasia 1887 & 1891 – Blue Metal 1899/1900 – King Of The Forest 1921 & 1923 – Donald 1928/1929 – I’m Imposing 2013/2014.
The most successful trainer of winners of the Summer Cup is Gai Waterhouse who has saddled-up the winner on five occasions:
1996 Century Boy – 1997 Linesman – 1999 Zanetta – 2002 Stoway
2005 Aqua D’Amore.
Riding honours rest with Ted Bartle who was in the saddle on five occasions:
1920 Braille – 1921 King Of The Forest – 1930 Dalston
1937 Young Crusader – 1940 Malagigi.
