Ladbrokes Hobart Cup News
The Ladbrokes Hobart Cup is a Group 3 race run in mid-February during the annual Tasmanian Summer Racing Carnival.
The event is a staying showdown contested over a mile and a half (2400m) and is run under handicap conditions. The event takes place at Hobart Racecourse and offers $300,000 in prize money as of 2023.
It was previously held a week earlier on the the same card as the Group 3 Bow Mistress Trophy for fillies and mares, but was moved in 2022 and made the sole feature race of Hobart Cup Day.
Gallopers that run in the Hobart Cup field often back-up a fortnight later at Launceston and attempt a Tassie Cup double in the Group 3 $250,000 Launceston Cup (2400m) over the same distance. Eastender (2019) was the last horse to complete the Hobart Cup – Launceston Cup double.
In 2022 the Hobart Cup winner Ho Ho Khan went on to run second next-up in that summer’s Launceston Cup results. He further franked the Hobart Cup form heading to Melbourne for a brave fourth behind Duais that March in Flemington’s Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) at big odds.
The Ladbrokes Hobart Cup 2023 ran on Sunday February 12th, 2023 and was won in emphatic fashion by the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Sydney raider Military Mission ($4.40).

2023 Hobart Cup Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Ladbrokes Hobart Cup 2023 Tips on the popular Tassie staying showdown this summer.
- To Win: #2 Swoop Dog ($8 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Going for the value in this year’s Ladbrokes Hobart Cup and taking on the favourite with the airborne Swoop Dog who chases a fourth win on the trot. The John Blacker-trained Husson five-year-old has been in fine form this summer putting together a very nice record ahead of his step-up to Group 3 grade in the Cup. His latest win was here in the Summer Cup over 2200m when carrying 59kg to a win by over one length. Should see out the mile and half based on that performance and is back in the weights to 55.5kg further aiding his chances. Hard to ignore.

Hobart Cup History
The Hobart Cup has been run since 1875 and is a time-honoured classic staying race in Tasmania.

The race began as a Principal race before gaining Group 3 status in 1980, In 2004 – 2006 it was elevated to a Group 2 event before dropping back to a Group 3 again from 2007 onward. Originally the Hobart Cup was contested over two miles (3200m). It has had a number of different distance changes since then and is now run over 2400m.
