History of race: The race was first run in 1864 3 years after the 1st Melbourne Cup and was won by Falcon. A race with a troubled history with the race not being held in 1870/71, then in 1885 the South Australian Government decided to spoil everybody’s fun by declaring gambling in the state illegal. Nominations for the Adelaide Cup were already accepted so organisers held the meeting at Flemington in Melbourne, where the race was won by Lord Wilton. Racing in South Australia was then abandoned until 1889, when then totalisator was re-introduced. Until 1944 the race was over 13 furlongs (approx 2600m) and since then has been over 2 miles (3200m). Originally run in May, but in 2006 it was moved to the 2nd Monday in March where it remains up to this point.
Adelaide Cup - Melbourne Cup/Sydney Double: Gallic 2007 (Sydney Cup), Subzero 1992 (Melbourne Cup.)
Lead Up Form Races: Roy Higgins Quality, Mornington Cup, Lord Reims Stakes.
The Track: Morphettville has two tracks, the Allan Scott is the original track at this course. Offers a very fair racing surface for all competitors over the longer staying distances.
Track Bias, Barriers: The 3200m start is positioned just before the turn into the home straight. There is little bias due to the distance involved, but it is generally preferred to start from an inside gate.
