Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup
Hong Kong | FEATURE RACE GUIDE
History
The Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup is a Group 1 race run under Weight For Age conditions for the sprinters at Sha Tin conducted by Hong Kong Jockey Club.
The Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup is run over 1400m. Since 2006 it was upgraded to Group 1 as part of a Hong Kong Speed Series. It has been moved back a month from 2023.
Horses often run in the Stewards' Cup then drop back in trip to the 1400m.
Five year olds have taken out 10 of the last 17 renewals of the race.
John Moore trained the trifecta in 2017 and has won 8 times since 2006.
Rated one of the best horses in the world, Beauty Generation backed up his Hong Kong Mile win with a win in this race two months later. He'd go on to bigger things after that making it seven wins in a row when winning the race in 2019.
Then in 2020 he overcame a few setbacks in his form to return and win the race for the third year in a row.
Ka Ying Rising had his first go beyond 1200m in winning his third straight G1 race in the 2025 edition. He won it again in 2026 where he broke Silent Witness' 17 race winning streak and broke the course record.
The Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup was worth HK$13m in 2026.
Some notable winners of the Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup include Ka Ying Rising (2025/2026), California Spangle (2024), Lucky Sweynesse (2023), Wellington (2022), Beauty Generation (2018/2019/2020), Helene Paragon (2017), Able Friend (2015), Gold-Fun (2014), Ambitious Dragon (2013), Lucky Nine (2012), Happy Zero (2010) and Good Ba Ba (2008).
The 2026 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup was won by Ka Ying Rising from Helios Express and Lucky Sweynesse.
