                 Perth Cup (GR2)


                                2024 total prize money: $1,000,000 
                             1st $575,000, 2nd $186,000, 3rd $88,000


The Perth Cup, first run in January 1887 was actually the ninth running of a 2 mile handicap that was first run in 1879 under the banner, the Metropolitan Handicap.
In order to give Western Australia its own identifiable ‘Cup’ race, as well as adding some prestige to the event, the WATC renamed the Metropolitan Handicap, the Perth Cup.

The distance of the Perth Cup stood at two miles from its inception until 1947 where the distance was changed to 2 miles 11 yards.
This change only lasted until 1961 when it was changed back to 2 miles, later to become 3200m when the metric measurement system was introduced to Australia in 1973.
In 2009 the distance was reduced to 2400m.
In 1993 the Perth Cup’s Group rating was downgraded from a Gr1 event to a Gr2.

The Perth Cup is traditionally run on New Years’ day, though on some occasions it was run on December 31st. This meant that in some instances there were two Perth Cups run in the same year and in other years there was no Perth Cup run at all.
To avoid any confusion from these date anomalies, I have set out the years in chronological order and have noted in the race summary the exact race date of all races that have been adjusted.

Apart from Rocket, who won three consecutive Metropolitan Handicaps, seven horses have won the Perth Cup on more than one occasion:
Wandering Willie 1890 &92 – Scarpia 1893/94 – Artesian 1911 & 1913
Cueesun 1933/34 – Fairetha 1958/59 – Fait Accompli 1970 & 72
Magistrate 1981/82 – Star Exhibit 2017 & 19

When the 1904 Perth Cup winner Blue Spec went on to win the 1905 Melbourne Cup, he became the first, and remains the only horse, to complete the Perth Cup/Melbourne Cup double.


Throughout the Perth Cups long history there have been many successful owners who have led in multiple winners.
William Leeder won four consecutive Metropolitan Handicaps with Rocket 1881/82/83 and Richmond in 1884.
Owner/trainer and sometimes rider, George Towton won the Perth Cup on six occasions:
1888 Telephone – 1891 The Duke – 1892 Wandering Willie – 1893 Scarpia
1895 Durable – 1897 Snapshot    

Between 1904 and 1910, P. A. "Paddy" Connolly led in six winners and went within a half head of having seven straight when his horse Jolly Begger was beaten into second place by that margin in the 1909 Cup. Connolly later took his Perth Cup tally to seven when a daughter of Jolly Beggar, Jolly Cosy, carried his famous scarlet and white colours to victory in 1922.

Connolly’s seven winners are:
1904 Blue Spec – 1905 Czarovitch – 1906 May King – 1907 Post Town
1908 Scorcher – 1910 Jolly Beggar – 1922 Jolly Cosy

The most successful owners in the history of the Perth Cup is Bob and Sandra Peters who have led in the winner on ten occasions.
The Peters’ ten winners are:
1993 Field Officer – 2005 Crown Prosecutor – 2010 Lords Ransom
2011 Western Jewel – 2015 Real Love – 2016 Delicacy – 2017 Star Exhibit 
2019 Star Exhibit – 2020 Mississippi Delta – 2022 Midnight Blue

Training honours for the Perth Cup rest with John J. Kelly who saddled-up the cup winner seven times: 1912 Sparkle – 1917 Downing Street – 1919 Eurythmic – 1930 Coolbarro – 1932 Bonny Note – 1938 Maikai
1938 Gay Balkan

Frank Treen is the most successful rider in the Cup’s history having ridden the winner on five occasions:
1949 Gurkha – 1952 Avarna – 1963 Bay Count – 1964 Resolution – 1969 Jenark.
