Super Sprint Trophy

Super Sprint Trophy

The Super Sprint Trophy is a flat horse race in the United Kingdom for two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 5 furlongs and 34 yards (1,037 m) at Newbury Racecourse in July.

It was first run in 1991 and was initially titled the Newbury Sales Super Sprint Trophy. In 1993 the name was changed to Weatherbys and Sales Super Sprint Trophy and since 1993 it has been run as the Weatherbys Super Sprint Trophy. The race is currently restricted to horses sold as yearlings for 48,000 guineas or less at Weatherbys sales. The weights carried are determined by the sale price of the horses, with one pound deducted for each 3,000 guineas below 48,000.

In its earlier years a number of horses contested the race who went on to significant victories. The inaugural winner Paris House subsequently won the Palace House Stakes and Temple Stakes, and Lyric Fantasy, winner in 1992, won the Nunthorpe Stakes as a two-year-old in her next race. The 1993 third, Turtle Island, went on to win the Irish 2,000 Guineas as a three-year-old. However, few recent runners have achieved any significant successes.

Horses trained by Richard Hannon have won the race on six occasions.
