Lonsdale Cup

Lonsdale Cup

The Lonsdale Cup is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to thoroughbreds which are three-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 2 miles and 88 yards (3,299 metres) at York Racecourse, and it takes place annually during the Ebor Festival meeting in August.

The race was promoted to Group 2 status in 2004, having been contested at Group 3 level since 1998. Before this it had been classed as a Listed race. There was also a slight alteration to the name in 2004 – previously it had been called the Lonsdale Stakes. The distance of the race prior to 2007 was 1 mile 7 furlongs and 198 yards (3,199 metres).
