INTRODUCTION TO THE CARLTON MID DARWIN CUP
CARNIVAL
Welcome to the 2013 Carlton Mid Darwin Cup Carnival
The modern era began in 1956 with the running of the first Darwin Cup at the Darwin Turf Club for total prize

Carlton Mid Darwin Cup Day, held the first Monday of August each year, and the total prize money on offer in
2013 stands at more than $1.95 million.

SKYCITY DARWIN Triple Crown BONUS:
The Triple Crown Bonus is on. Can 2013 deliver a thoroughbred, trainer and jockey combination strong
enough to take out the Territory’s ultimate racing prize – the $100,000 SKYCITY Darwin Triple Crown.
Only two horses in the entire history of the Triple Crown have successfully managed to win all three legs
– 1989 legend Brinney and 1996 star Ventilago.
Due to the extreme challenge of winning all three Triple Crown legs, in 1995 it was resolved to raise the stakes and
entice competitors with a $100,000 bonus, which is made possible by the generous support of SKYCITY Darwin.
The bonus incentive paid off the following year for jockey Dale Coffey when he stormed home on Ventilago in
the HOT100 Darwin Guineas, the SKYCITY Darwin Derby and finally the Carlton Mid Darwin Cup.
Since 1996 no other horse has managed to win more than two Triple Crown legs, in more recent years the likes of
Brad Star (2007), Hawks Bay (2009) and The Ruffian (2011) all kept the dream alive by winning both the HOT100
Guineas and the SKYCITY Darwin Derby, only to fall short in the Carlton Mid Darwin Cup.
Seventeen long years have now passed since Triple Crown glory was last won and racing buffs will be eagerly
waiting to see if anyone will manage to ‘steal the crown’ this year.
