Tattersalls Gold Cup Overview
The Tattersalls Gold Cup doesn’t quite have the historical prestige of this week’s other Group 1 races such as the Irish 2000 Guineas and Irish 1000 Guineas but it holds huge importance for middle-distance horses aged four years and over. Contested over 1m2f, the Tattersalls Gold Cup was established in 1962 and has held Group 1 status since 1999.
Four horses have won the race twice, most recently Magical (2019 & 2020) for trainer, Aidan O’Brien. O’Brien also won last year’s renewal with Luxembourg to extend his record to ten Tattersalls Gold Cup wins.

O’Brien Dominance and the Return of last year’s Derby hero
Last year’s winning trainer, Aidan O’Brien is back and seeking a record eleventh race win on Sunday with market leader, Auguste Rodin. Auguste Rodin enjoyed a stellar three-year-old campaign winning four Group 1 races including the Derby, Irish Derby, Irish Champion Stakes and Breeders’ Cup Turf. Flopped on his only race this year when finishing 12/12 in the Dubai Sheema Classic but remains the one to beat on Sunday.
Following his flop at Meydan, many bettors will be looking elsewhere hoping to find an entry amongst the other seven runners capable of defeating Aidan O’Brien’s multiple Group 1 winner. The most likely challengers are Elegant Man and White Birch. Colin Keane rides White Birch for trainer, John Joseph Murphy three years on from his 2021 success on board Helvic Dream. White Birch is 2/2 this year having landed two Group races over C&D in the past few weeks. White Birch won the Group 3 Alleged Stakes in mid-April before following up with success in the Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes just three weeks ago. Elegant Man is also 2/2 this year but both wins came on the all-weather. Interesting selection on his turf debut for trainer, Adrian Murray.
