Launceston Cup News
The Ladbrokes Launceston Cup is one of the few Group status races held in Tasmania each year. The Group 3 staying showdown takes place in February over the Tasmanian Summer Racing Carnival and offers $250,000 in prize money.
Launceston Cup Day also features the weight-for-age Listed Mowbray Stakes (1600m) and Group 3 Vamos Stakes (1400m) for the fillies and mares that offer plenty of top summer betting opportunities for punters at Ladbrokes.com.au.

The Hobart Cup – Launceston Cup betting double is popular each summer and was last achieved by Eastender (2019) and Up Cups (2016).

Launceston Cup History
The Launceston Cup has been run and won since way back in 1865 when Panic won the inaugural edition of this time-honoured Tasmanian race. It ran as a Principal race until gaining its current Group 3 status in 1980 when Summer took out the event. It was originally a three mile contest run over a gruelling 4800m. It ran over two miles (3200m) – the same distance as the iconic Melbourne Cup – from 1847 – 1879 before decreasing. It has run over 2400m since 2002.
Notable Launceston Cup winners in recent years including St. Andrews (2000, 2002 & 2003), Geegees Blackflash (2013) and Up Cups (2016).
The 2018 Launceston Cup winner Bondeiger set a new record winning the mile and a half feature in 2 minutes 29.56 seconds.
