There have been 30 three-year-olds who have won the Sydney Cup, with Tie The Knot, in 1998, being the most recent.

The title of fastest winner of the Sydney Cup is shared by Just A Dancer (1991) and Apollo Eleven (1973). They ran the 3200m in 3 minutes and 19 seconds.

There are five multiple winners of the Sydney Cup – Tie The Knot (1999, 1998), Veiled Threat (1944, 1942), Mosiac (1940, 1939), Carbine (1890, 1889) and The Barb (1869, 1868).

Four horses have won the Melbourne Cup–Sydney Cup double in the same season – Makybe Diva (2004), Galilee (1967), Straight Draw (1958) and Lord Cardigan (1904). Only two have done it in the same year and they are two of the all-time greats: Makybe Diva (2004) and Carbine (1890).

Originally known as the Jockey Club Handicap, the Sydney Cup was first run in 1862 – only one year after the first Melbourne Cup – when it was won by Talleyrand at Randwick racecourse.
