The former BTC Cup race over 1200m was changed to the Kingsford Smith Cup in 2017 with an amended venue, date and distance.<\/p>\n

A number of notable sprinters won the event when it ran as the BTC Cup including Apache Cat (2008) and the undefeated queen of the turf, Black Caviar (2011).<\/p>\n

Black Caviar (2011) is also the last Kingsford Smith Cup winning mare.<\/p>\n

Your Song (2013) was the last three-year-old Kingsford Smith Cup winner, while the last filly to win was Sea Siren (2012) the previous year.<\/p>\n

There have been two dual Kingsford Smith Cup winners throughout history with Falvelon (2000, 2003) and Buck\u2019s Pride (1993, 1994) both saluting in the event twice.<\/p>\n

The Bostonian holds the current Kingsford Smith Cup record<\/strong> over the 1300m winning in 2001 in at time of 1 minute 15:51 seconds.<\/p>\n

The first official Kingsford Smith Cup winner of the new-look race was Clearly Innocent.<\/p>\n

The 2022 Kingsford Smith Cup winner Apache Chase<\/strong> handed local trainer Desleigh Forster her first Group 1 victory with a narrow all-the-way upset win over the Godolphin-raced three-year-old Paulele.<\/p>\n

The Kingsford Smith Cup 2023 winner was the Joe Pride-trained four-year-old Think About It ($5.50)<\/strong> who took his improving record up to eight wins from nine starts with a big victory in his Group 1 debut.<\/p>\n

After winning the 2023 Kingsford Smith Cup, Think About It went on to claim the Stradbroke Handicap<\/strong><\/a> at his next start before returning to Sydney for huge spring headlined by a win in the world’s richest turf race – The Everest<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 2024 Kingsford Smith Cup winner was the Peter Moody & Katherine Coleman-trained I Wish I Win ($3.90 EF)\u00a0<\/strong>who improved on his lead-up Doomben 10,000 second to turn the tables on Bella Nipotina in a reverse order of the quinella.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Kingsford Smith Cup winner was the Chris Waller-trained mare Joliestar ($2.40F)\u00a0<\/strong>who saluted for the punters narrowly.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Kingsford Smith Cup winner is TBD<\/strong> and will be known when the million-dollar Brisbane winter feature runs at Eagle Farm on Saturday May 30.<\/p>\n
