The Horsham Cup was first conducted in 1978 when won by Temsonny and since that time has been taken out by some of the best dogs to have graced the track in Victoria.

For many years the race was well known and highly sought after when run as a part of an Easter Carnival, however it is now run in February/March after the Australian Cup Carnival each year, allowing for better fields with the top greyhounds generally heading to Wentworth Park for the Golden Easter Egg beforehand.

Some of the greyhounds to have won the feature include:

• Kantarn Bale:
  An absolute champion. Trained by Graeme Bate, the son of Light Of Fire and Jindara Bale won the event in 1988 and would go on to have a spectacular career which would see him claim the 1999 Victorian Greyhound of the Year title. The black greyhound also won the Group 1 Melbourne cup, the Group 1 Silver Chief, the Group 1 Brisbane Cup, the Group 2 Shepparton Cup, the Interstate Challenge and the Bert Bryant Memorial.
• Classic Capri:
  Won the event in 1999 and would go on to win the Melbourne Cup, becoming the longest ever priced winner of Australia’s premier greyhound event when saluting at 25-1.
• Velocette:
  A five time group winner during his career, the son of Bombastic Shiraz and Texan Lady was an emphatic winner of the 2009 Cup, defeating a quality field including Group 1 Melbourne Cup runner-up Hanify’s Impact.
• Dyna Tron:
  One of the best greyhounds to have been produced by Paul Wheeler, the red brindle dog won the Horsham Cup in 2012. Interestingly, Dyna Tron’s dam Gold Rush Bale was sired by Lansley Bale, who took out the race in 1988, with Gold Rush Bale also a half-sister to champion greyhound and former Horsham Cup winner Kantarn Bale, mentioned above.

Today, the Group 2 Horsham Cup stands as a testament to the high calibre of greyhound racing in Victoria, consistently drawing a field of elite competitors and offering punters exciting betting opportunities on one of the region’s most cherished country cups.

• 2025 – Flying Zulu edges Amron Tiger to win Group 2 Horsham Cup
  Flying Zulu has put his name alongside some of the best sprinters in the country, claiming victory in the 2025 Horsham Cup for Team Thompson. The $40,000 Group 2 win was a well-earned triumph, especially after the kennel was forced to scratch kennelmate Tim Zoo from the final due to a minor webbing injury.
