The Doncaster Cup is run on the third day of the annual St Leger Meeting at Doncaster Racecourse. A marathon two miles and two furlongs, the Doncaster Cup is a Group 2 contest for racehorses aged three years and older. The race was established in 1766 and it was originally called the Doncaster Gold Cup. It's the racecourse's oldest race, even pre-dating the St Leger itself, which is the oldest of the flat racing classics. The race had been run over four miles but was shortened in 1825 to two miles and five furlongs, before finally being settled on 2m2f in 1927.
Previous winners of the race include real stayers such as Persian Punch and Sergeant Cecil. Horses who compete in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot and the Goodwood Cup at the Glorious Meeting can oftne be found having a tilt at this race.
