The Tattersall's Cup takes place on the final day of the winter carnival and is a distance event over 2200m that typically attracts more than handy local stayers after some black type success. Stayers who contested the Gr3 Chairman's Handicap (2020m) or Gr3 Premier's Cup (2200m) earlier in the carnival at Doomben may decide to tackle this event.
The race is held on Group 1 Winter Stakes day and typically attracts more than handy types rather than the elite and is more often than not taken out by a local galloper from around Brisbane or the surrounding provincial area.
Mirrasala (2010) ran fifth in the listed XXXX Gold Strawberry Road Handicap at Eagle Farm prior to winning this event and recent winners of the Tattersall's Cup include Hume (2009) and Ballack (2008).
