Tattersall’s Cup 2024

Ladbrokes Tip: Looking for proven stayers coming off strong lead-up wins in Brisbane or Sydney is key to tipping the Tattersall’s Cup winner.

The Tattersall’s Cup is held on the final Group 1 race meeting of the Queensland Winter Racing Carnival – Tattersall’s Tiara Day – taking place on a Saturday in late June at Brisbane’s Eagle Farm Racecourse.

A set weights plus penalties event now contested over 2400m, the race has been held over a huge range of distances including a gruelling 3000m in 2019 and has been run and won since 1924.

The Tattersall’s Cup currently offers a total of $200,000 in prize money and attracts a strong line-up of winter stayers each year. It takes place on the same day as the $700,000 Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara (1400m) for fillies and mares and the $200,000 Group 3 WJ Healy Stakes (1200m) for the sprinters.

Plenty of nice horses have won the Tattersall’s Cup over the years including subsequent Melbourne Cup champions Vow And Declare (2019) and Kensei (1987).

Vow And Declare became a two-time Tattersall’s Cup winner on non-successive years when returning to salute for a second time in 2024.

The Tattersall’s Cup also serves as a nice early lead-up into the spring’s Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m).

In 2021, the historic 12-length Tattersall’s Cup winner Incentivise would go on to win the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m), Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) and Group 1 Caulfield Cup that spring in Melbourne before a second to Verry Elleegant in the Melbourne Cup quinella.

The latest edition of the Tattersall’s Cup ran on Saturday June 29, 2024 at Eagle Farm Racecourse in Brisbane and was won by Danny O’Brien’s warhorse and 2019 champion Vow And Declare ($7.50) who beat home stablemate Young Werther in a quinella for the stable.

The Tattersall’s Cup race field draws a quality line-up of winter stayers from both local and interstate stables.

Runners may come via a number of different lead-up races including the Brisbane Cup, Queensland Derby or for the fillies the Queensland Oaks.

Doomben’s Group 3 Chairman’s Handicap serves as another potential lead-up with Brimham Rocks (9th in 2020) the last Tattersall’s Cup winner to come out of that race.

For any stayers racing on before the spring carnivals, the Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m) can make a nice next-up option as is the Listed Ipswich Cup (215m) held the Saturday after Tatt’s Tiara Day.
