Tattersall's Cup

 



         Tattersall's Cup (GR3) 


The Tattersall's Cup is a 2400 metre Group 3 Set Weight + Penalties 
race (for Three-Year-Olds and Over) that is run at Eagle Farm racecourse in Queensland, on Tattersall's race-day, on the final day of the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival. 


                            2025 total prize money: $200,000 
                        1st $116,000, 2nd $37,000, 3rd $18,000

                      [Race Record: 2:27.21 – Vow And Declare 2024]


The first running of the Tattersalls Cup took place at Eagle Farm Racecourse on Saturday, August 23rd 1924.
That inaugural running, over a distance of ten furlongs was won by 
Mr C. C. McGrowdie’s three-year-old bay gelding, Serelot.

During WWII all Brisbane racing was conducted at Albion Park Racecourse, so, from 1943 to 1945 the Tattersall’s Cup was run at Albion Park over a reduced trip of 1 mile & 57 yds.
When the Tattersall’s Cup returned to Eagle Farm in 1946, its original distance of 10 furlongs was reinstated.

Further distance changes between 1946 and 1972 saw the Tatt’s Cup run at a range of distances that included 10, 11 and 10 ½ furlongs.
A scheduling change occurred in 1954 when the Cup was transferred from the spring to the winter carnival.

The introduction of the metric measures system in 1973 saw the distance of the Tattersalls Cup changed, as well as increased, from 10 ½ furlongs to 2200 metres.
The 2200 trip often fluctuated over the years by small amounts (6 metres to 70 metres) and although these fluctuations were mostly insignificant, I have included them on this page.
In 2020 the distance was permanently changed to 2400m.

Three horses have won the Tattersall’s Cup on more than one occasion:
Cool Gent 1957/58 – Winfreux 1966/67 & Vow And Declare 2019 & 2024.

Training honours for the Tattersalls Cup are split three-ways between Queensland’s own Tim Brosnan, Danny O’Brien and Chris Waller who have each saddled-up the winner on three occasions.

Tim Brosnan: 1927 Nonchalance – 1929 Moorelin – 1932 Lough Neagh
Danny O’Brien: 2008 Ballack – 2019 & 2024 Vow And Declare
Chris Waller: 2016 Index Linked – 2020 Brimham Rocks – 2025 Manzoice

Riding Honours rest with another Queenslander in Brian York, who has ridden the winner on three occasions:
