The first running of the Newcastle Cup occurred on Thursday, March 17, 1898 at Newcastle racecourse in Hamilton. The Cup was run over a distance of 1 ¼ miles and carried a purse of 100 sovereigns
Twenty-one starters lined-up for the first Newcastle Cup and the race was won by Mr Thomas McCarthy’s three-year-old chestnut filly, Raven’s Plume.
In 1907 the Newcastle Cup was permanently moved to the Newcastle Jockey Club’s new racecourse at Broadmeadow and the following year the distance was increased to 1 mile & 3 furlongs (11 furlongs).
When racing went metric in 1972 the distance was set at 2250m, it was increased to 2400m in 1992 and decreased to its current distance of 2300m in 2001.
Two horses have won the Newcastle Cup on more than one occasion:
Duke Alwyne 1915/16 and Duo 1965/66
