Bunbury Cup

Bunbury Cup

The Bunbury Cup is a flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to thoroughbreds which are three-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres) on the July Course at Newmarket Racecourse, and it takes place annually in early July.

It is named in honour of Sir Charles Bunbury (1740–1821), the owner of Diomed, the first Epsom Derby winner. As Senior Steward of the Jockey Club, Bunbury introduced the two Classic Races held at Newmarket, the 1,000 Guineas and 2,000 Guineas.

The Bunbury Cup is a handicap race which is presently open to horses rated 0 to 105.
