Racing Post Trophy




It was first run in 1961 as the Timeform Gold Cup, sponsored by Timeform , and was subsequently known as the '''Observer Gold Cup''' (1965-75, sponsored by The Observer ) and the '''Futurity Stakes''' (1976-88, sponsored by William Hill Plc ), before taking its present name in 1989 when the Racing Post took sponsorship.

Four winners of the race have gone on to win the Epsom Derby the following year. These are Reference Point, High Chaparral, Motivator and Authorized.
