Kalgoorlie Cup

The 2015 Kalgoorlie Cup is a listed staying event held in Western Australia during Spring.

The Kalgoorlie Cup is raced over 2300m, allowing local stayers to get experience at black-type level. Run under Open Quality conditions, the Kalgoorlie Cup is a genuine test of each horse’s ability to last the distance.

With [cf “prize_money”] prize money on offer, the Kalgoorlie Cup is one of the wealthier cup events run in the region. It is part of the famous western cups trifecta, which includes the Kalgoorlie Cup, the Coolgardie Cup and the Boulder Cup. Quite often, very similar fields will line up for all three races, each horse chasing the elusive cups trifecta.

Other follow-on races for horses who experience success in the Kalgoorlie Cup include the Railway Stakes, Kingston Town Classic and Perth Cup.

The Kalgoorlie Cup is an important part of Western Australian racing. It brings black-type racing to a country track and allows country horses the opportunity to prove their worth against metro-stabled horses. A victory in the Kalgoorlie Cup gives a horse a certain prestige and the opportunity to join the ranks of successful race horses who have passed through the event.
