Tattersall’s Cup Tips 2026

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.
