July Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The July Cup is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbreds run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres) on the July Course at Newmarket Racecourse in early July. It was first run in 1876.

It is one of the top sprint races in Europe, and is often contested by horses which ran previously in the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot.
