Chris Waller’s talented seven-year-old gelding Asterix ($4.20) celebrated his third stakes win finishing best off in the 2026 Tattersall’s Cup results on Tiara Day. Coming from last on the turn for home, Asterix and jockey Tim Clark came deep out on the track to make up all the late ground to go stride-for-stride with Pounding over the final stages before drawing clear and saluting by a half-length. It was back-to-back Tatt’s Cup wins for Waller who won the year prior with Manzoice.

Tattersall’s Cup Tips 2026

Our exclusive Tattersall’s Cup 2026 tips and exotic selections will be detailed here the week of the race and a detailed betting preview published on the Neds Blog.

2026 TATTERSALL’S TIARA DAY PREVIEW & BEST BETS

Currently run over 2,400 metres, the Tattersall’s Cup is a Group 3 race taking place at Eagle Farm Racecourse during the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival. With a $200,000 prize purse, it attracts plenty of staying talent that may be headed towards the Group 1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) at Flemington on the first Tuesday of November. 

For the 2020 edition of the Tattersall’s Cup the event ran over 2,400 metres down from 3,000 in 2019 and offered a reduced $175,000 in prize money due to COVID-19. It also took place a week earlier than it’s traditional slot with no Tattersall’s Tiara Day on the agenda in 2020.

Previously a quality handicap race, from 2020 onwards the Tattersall’s Cup has been contested at set weights plus penalties.

The Tattersall’s Cup has served as a key early lead-up to the bigger staying races held later in the season including in 2019 when the winner Vow And Declare went on to run second in the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) and win the iconic Melbourne Cup over the two miles that spring.

Vow And Declare would become a two-time Tattersall’s Cup winner taking out the race a second time in 2024 as an eight-year-old.

In 2021, Incentivise won the Tattersall’s Cup by a record 12 lengths before a huge spring in Melbourne winning the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes, Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) and that year’s Caulfield Cup. He also finished second to Verry Elleegant in that year’s Melbourne Cup results.

In 2024, the Tattersall’s Cup third placed Knight’s Choice continued on to claim that year’s Melbourne Cup race in a huge upset.

Which Horse Will Win the Tattersall’s Cup in 2026

The best way to pick which horse will win the Tattersall’s Cup in 2026 is to take into account their lead-up winter racing form, consider the weights and look for the proven stayers. 

Additional factors to consider when picking the Tattersall’s Cup winner include: 

• Lead Up – The Brisbane Cup may be a good indicator for this race as is the Queensland Derby for any three-year-olds in the mix. Manzoice (3rd in 2025) was the last Brisbane Cup graduate to continue on and win the Tatt’s Cup. 
• Last Dash – Being held on the final major day of the Brisbane winter carnival, this race is sure to attract some horses looking for one final big win to the season.
• Last Start Winners – Horses coming off a lead-up win have a strong strike-rate in recent Tattersall’s Cup results.

Tattersall’s Cup Favourites 2026

Favourites in Tattersall’s Cup 2026 betting include the Gregory Hickman-trained rising nine-year-old Future History who still shows plenty of zest for racing after a lead-up third here in the Lord Mayor’s Cup, The Q22 runner-up Pounding from the Moody/Coleman yard and Chris Waller’s early market mover Asterix.

Vow And Declare ($3 in 2019) followed by runaway 12-length winner Incentivise ($1.40 in 2021) and Luncies ($2.25 in 2023) are the latest Tattersall’s Cup favourites to salute for the punters.

Vow And Declare won again in 2024 at odds of $10.
