What is the July Cup?
The July Cup is a prestigious Group 1 race run over six furlongs and takes place at Newmarket's July Festival. Open to horses aged three years or older, it can be a race that sees emerging, young sprinters lock horns with older adversaries, and it can be a race that sees three-year-olds that have competed in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot do battle with horses that have lined up in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at the Royal meeting.
First run in 1876, the July Cup attracts the premier sprinters from the UK and Ireland, and can sometimes be the target for the top speedsters in the US and Australia, and that is why it's an integral part of the Global Sprint Challenge between 2008 and 2017. It has been won by some of the finest sprinters in training with the likes of Oasis Dream (2003), Starspangledbanner (2010) and Harry Angel (2017) all tasting victory in the race.
What happened in the 2023 July Cup?
Julie Camacho's Shaquille was a class above his rivals as the well-fancied three-year-old beat outsider Run To Freedom in impressive fashion.
