Bunbury Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bunbury Cup is a flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 7 furlongs (1,408 metres) on the July Course at Newmarket Racecourse 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.
