它是英國最負盛名的超長途賽事,傳統上安排在皇家雅士谷賽期的第三天舉行,這天也普遍被稱為女士日。民間習慣把這場賽事稱為雅士谷金盃,但官方的名稱其實只是金盃(Gold Cup)。2016年適逢英女王伊莉莎白二世90歲大壽,賽事也冠名為女王90壽辰金盃[1]

歷史

設於1807年[2],初期開放予三歲或以上賽駒競逐,首屆冠軍Master Jackey獲得100堅尼獎金,當時英王喬治三世夏綠蒂王后也在場見證。

俄國皇帝尼古拉一世在1844年國事訪問英國,順道到雅士谷馬場觀看金盃賽事。該年的冠軍馬當時尚未取名,英國便稱牠為皇帝(The Emperor)以答謝尼古拉一世的到訪。作為回禮,尼古拉一世為賽事提供新的冠軍獎座,賽事也改名為皇帝碟(Emperor's Plate)。不過此名只維持了9年,1853年克里米亞戰爭爆發,隨著翌年英國向俄國宣戰,賽事便恢復原稱。

雅士谷金盃是英國長途馬三冠系列的第一關,次關為古活盃(Goodwood Cup, 3219米)、尾關為唐卡斯特盃(Doncaster Cup, 3621米)。對上一匹能連奪三關的賽駒為1995年的Double Trigger。

皇家雅士谷賽期有三個永久獎盃,分別是皇家狩獵盃女王瓶和雅士谷金盃,獲勝馬匹的馬主可以永久保有獎盃。史上有多匹馬曾不止一次在金盃勝出,當中贏得最多的是詩人作家,連續在2006至2009年四奪此殊榮。
