Port Hedland Cup Winners

Port Hedland’s annual feature race has been the premier event in the northern WA racing calendar for well over a century. Its rich history dates back to 1902 when the first official race meet at Port Hedland was held, and the annual tradition continues to this day.

Becoming a Port Hedland Cup Winner is an honour and a challenge which very few horses achieve even once, let alone winning multiple times. Only two horses in history have ever achieved the Port Hedland Cup Trifecta of winning three consecutive Cups:  Red Warrior (in the 1960s) and Night Watchman (in the 2000s).

Will Galaxon (double winner of the 2014 and 2015 Cups) become the third horse to achieve the Trifecta? Only the results of the 2016 Port Hedland Cup will tell!

* From 1902 to 1935, the feature race was called the “Port Hedland Handicap”, and in 1936, it was renamed to the “Port Hedland Cup”.
