Northam Cup News
The Listed 2025 Northam Cup is a 1600m quality handicap held at Northam Racecourse in Western Australia.
Taking place on a Sunday in late October the day after Melbourne’s Ladbrokes Cox Plate Day meeting, the Northam Cup is open only to horses aged three years and older and pays $150,000, very decent for a country cup.

Horses that target the Northam Cup generally do so following non-black type events elsewhere in Western Australia. The Group 3 Northerly Stakes – now run as the Eurythmic Stakes – at Ascot has been a fairly accurate lead up race in the past. Marocchino (6th in 2022) was the last Eurythmic Stakes graduate to back-up and win the Northam Cup.
The cup series comprising the Coolgardie Cup, Boulder Cup and Kalgoorlie Cup also acts as a fairly good line for horses to take into the Northam Cup.
Many trainers choose to run their classier horses in the Northam Cup first up as a way of getting them going in time for the Perth Summer Racing Carnival.
Following the Northam Cup, better types will step up to Group 3 for the Asian Beau Stakes, Colonel Reeves Stakes or Lee Steere Stakes. The Group 1 Kingston Town Classic is a potential target for the genuinely talented sorts.
The 2021 Northam Cup form was franked with the winner Kaptain Kaos returning the following winter to win the Group 3 Hyperion Stakes (1600m) in 2022.
The 2022 Northam Cup winner Marocchino went on to win the Group 2 Ted Van Heemst Stakes (2100m) at Ascot that December.
In Good Order (3rd in 2024) was the last Northam Cup graduate to go on and win the Ted Van Heemst Stakes.
The 2023 Northam Cup form was franked with the third placegetter, Casino Seventeen, going on to win that summer’s Perth Cup in January of 2024.
The Northam Cup 2025 runs on Sunday October 26th, 2025 in WA on the Sunday after Ladbrokes Cox Plate Day.

To Win: No. 11 Secret Attraction
I’m on the favourite SECRET ATTRACTION (5) to win Sunday’s Northam Cup off some promising lead-up runs. Peter Fernie’s six-year-old daughter of Savabeel looks ideally placed to go one better than her back-to-back seconds this prep and post a deserving Group 3 win. She has been good at a mile (7:3-0-1) throughout her career and should appreciate getting out to the trip third-up and fit. Last start at Kalgoorlie she was runner-up in the Listed Hannans Handicap (1400m) under a quarter length beaten by Multinational who she meets 2kg better in the weights for the rematch. The flying Lucy Fiore sticks in the saddle and this mare won her only other start at the track to date. Can salute.

Northam Cup History
Established in 1863, the Northam Race Club has grown into one of Western Australia’s premium country racing clubs. Northam Racecourse is one of the better maintained tracks in the country around Perth, which also contributes to the fairly impressive fields they get there. The long 425 metre straight no doubt also plays a part in drawing strong finishers.
The Northam Cup has grown into a fairly important race for both trainers and punters. As one of the earliest black type races in the season, the Northam Cup attracts a lot of horses that will go on to bigger races later on. As a result, it is watched quite closely.
In 2006 and 2007 the Northam Cup was run over 2300m. Prior to that, it was run over 2200m.
In 2014 there was a dead heat in the Northam Cup results between Rebelson and Son Of Something.
Notable Northam Cup winners include Zero Engagement (2004), Sentenza (2010) and Angel Of Mercy (2013). Northam Cup results since 2000 are listed below.
