The Port Adelaide Cup is a South Australian Jockey Club Listed Thoroughbred horse race for horses aged three years old and over, at quality handicap conditions, over a distance of 2,500 metres at the Morphettville Racecourse, Adelaide, Australia in the Autumn Carnival.[1]

History

[edit]

The race has assumed the history of the Port Adelaide Cup after the closure of Cheltenham Park Racecourse in 2009.

The race was the principal long distance race of the Port Adelaide Racing Club. It was held initially in the Christmas holiday period. However, after the demise of the club in 1975 and later the closure of the track where the race was predominantly held the race had lost its prestige when it was downgraded to a Listed race in 2003.[2] The current SAJC has had less stability with the scheduling of the race having it run in February several times in the last 10 years.[when?][citation needed]
