The race is for three-year-olds and over and takes place on MM Day being one of eight races on the card for horses purchased at the MM Yearling Sales.

The MM Cup attracts some of the country’s best sprinter/milers that have been purchase through the MM yearling Sales.

Other races on the day include the MM 2YO Classic (1200m), MM 3YO Guineas (1400m), MM Sprint (1000m), MM Stayers Cup (1800m), MM Fillies and Mares Handicap (1300m), MM Maiden Plate (1200m) and the MM Class 6 Plate (1200m).
