2025 Ladbrokes Hobart Cup Results

  • 1st: #4 Strawberry Rock ($6)
  • 2nd: #2 Promises Kept
  • 3rd: #3 Alhambra Lad

In a reverse of the Summer Cup quinella at the track in the lead-up, trainer Ciaron Maher prepared the first two past the post in Sunday’s thrilling 2025 Ladbrokes Hobart Cup results with eight-year-old Strawberry Rock ($6) relishing the pressure a long way out from the line to turn the tables and narrowly account for his better fancied stablemate Promises Kept ($3) in a near track record time.

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 currently offers $250,000 in prize money.

It was previously held a week earlier on the the same card as the Group 3 Bow Mistress Trophy (now run as the Mystic Journey Stakes) 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 Launceston Cup (2400m) over the same distance. Eastender (2019) was the last horse to complete the Hobart Cup – Launceston Cup double in the same season.

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 2023 Hobart Cup form was franked with the third place-getter Spirit Ridge going on to place in a host of subsequent Group races over the year including the Group 3 Launceston Cup (3rd), Group 3 Newcastle Cup (2nd), and the Group 1 The Metropolitan (2nd).

In 2024 dual Launceston Cup winner Aurora’s Symphony (2022, 2023) returned to Tassie and took out the Hobart Cup title for the first time.

The Ladbrokes Hobart Cup 2025 ran on Sunday February 9, 2025 and saw the Ciaron Maher stablemates Strawberry Rock ($6) and Promises Kept ($3) run one-two in a thriller with the winner turning the tables on his last start conqueror in the Summer Cup.

Stay tuned for our insider Ladbrokes Hobart Cup 2025 Tips on the popular Tassie staying showdown this summer.

  • To Win: #6 Kaliuwaa Falls ($11 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Taking a stab at a double figure contender in the Ladbrokes Hobart Cup and have Kaliuwaa Falls on top to turn the tables on his last start conqueror and Sunday’s favourite, Promises Kept, after a lead-up third in the Summer Cup at WFA here over 2200m on January 19. This Sacred Falls six-year-old will relish coming back from 59kg to just 54kg for the rematch with Bulent Muhcu retaining the ride from a favourable barrier two draw. Yet to win over further than 1880m so the step-up to 2400m is the query but that gives him good odds and there’s no denying he loves this track (9:4-0-2). Can turn it around.

Hobart Cup History

The Hobart Cup has been run since 1875 and is a time-honoured classic staying race in Tasmania. The inaugural Hobart Cup winner was Ella and since then a number of notable horses have won the race including that year’s subsequent Melbourne Cup winner Piping Lane (1972), Brisque (1988), Lord Baracus (2000), and Geegees Blackflash (2012 & 2015).

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.

In 2024 the Hobart Cup was won by former two-time Launceston Cup champion Aurora’s Symphony who set a new track record of 2 minutes 30.21 seconds.
