A Golden Legacy: Over Two Centuries of Racing, 200 Years of the Gold Cup Prize
While the modern BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup, a thrilling Grade 2 chase run over approximately 2 miles and 1½ furlongs, began its current chapter in the late 20th century, the history of racing on the Haldon Hills runs far, far deeper to as early as 1738. What makes today's event uniquely special is that we are celebrating 200 years since a Gold Cup prize was first presented here at Exeter.The Ultimate Stepping Stone to Glory: Devon's Premier Race
The BetMGM Haldon Gold Cup is, without a doubt, the undisputed feature race of the year at Exeter Racecourse. It's also the region's most prestigious contest, consistently drawing top trainers, jockeys, and racing fans from across the country to witness history in the making.
This race is widely regarded as the first major two-mile contest in the jumps calendar, making it a crucial early-season target for the sport's brightest stars. Many horses who shine here go on to conquer even bigger stages, serving as a significant prep race for the likes of the Queen Mother Champion Chase or the Ryanair Chase at the legendary Cheltenham Festival.
