What is the July Cup?
The July Cup is a Group 1 sprint over six furlongs on Newmarket's July Course, open to three-year-olds and older and run at the July Festival.
Who has won the July Cup?
The roll of honour lists every July Cup winner since 1990 with SP, age, weight, trainer, jockey and owner. Winners on the list include Oasis Dream, Harry Angel, Starman, Muhaarar and Stravinsky.
What do the July Cup trends show?
30 of the 36 July Cup winners since 1991 had run in Britain or Ireland within the previous 30 days, the most common gap, and 22 of the 36 had finished in the first three on their previous run. The trends table also splits runners by official rating, level and course of the last run, with winners, runners and win % for each group.
Which trainers and jockeys do best in the July Cup?
Aidan O'Brien leads the July Cup trainers with 5 wins and John Egan (joint top with 5 others) leads the riders with 2. Both tables show runners, strike rate and the year of each name's last win.
When is the next July Cup?
The next July Cup is due in early July at Newmarket's July Course; the banner at the top of this page shows the expected date and, once made, the entries. The roll of honour adds the result the evening it is run.

Which jockey has ridden the most July Cup winners?
John Egan (joint top with 5 others) heads the July Cup jockeys' table, sorted by wins, with 2 winning rides since 1990. Results before 1990 are outside the RaceWatch results database, so the jockeys table covers the modern era only.
How do favourites do in the July Cup?
Favourites have won 10 of 37 runnings since 1990, a strike rate of 27%. A £1 level stake on every favourite at SP shows -2.13 points, and the favourites table lists each one year by year.
What is the biggest-priced July Cup winner?
No Half Measures (GB) is the longest-priced winner since 1990, returned at 66/1. The starting price band table shows how many winners came from each price range, with profit or loss at SP.
