History
The Lord Mayor's Cup is a Group 3 race conducted by the Brisbane Racing Club at Eagle Farm as part of the Queensland racing carnival.
The race was first run in 1956 as the Labour Day Cup and was held traditionally as a handicap at Doomben on the first Monday in May until 2002 when it was transferred to an April date.
The race distance varied many times between 2000m and 2200m from 1956 until 2005.
In 2006 the race became the Lord Mayor's Cup and has since been run over 1615m at Doomben. It was a Listed race from 1979-1999 and has been Group 3 since 2000. It is now a Set Weights & Penalties race and at Eagle Farm over 1800m.
Winners of the Lord Mayor's Cup since 2006 include Headturner, Rothesay, Strawberry Boy and dual winner Solzhenitsyn.
The 2023 running was for $200,000.
