Famous Cammidge Trophy Winners

The Cammidge Trophy is the first opportunity for high-class sprinters to return to action on turf at the Doncaster Lincoln meeting.

Silver Fling won it for Ian Balding and John Matthias in 1989. She followed up in the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket and finished runner-up in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York. She ended her racing career with victory in the Prix de l’Abbaye at Longchamp.

2005 winner La Cucaracha was owned by Guy Reed and trained by Barry Hills in Lambourn. She went on to win the Ballyogan Stakes, the Nunthorpe Stakes and the 2006 King George Stakes. The race was moved to Redcar in 2006 while Doncaster was temporarily closed for redevelopment. Victory went to Les Arcs, trained by Tim Pitt and ridden by Neil Callan.

Les Arcs sprang a 33-1 surprise in the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, just four days after finishing down the field in the King’s Stand Stakes. Most observers regarded it is a fluke result but he once again belied his odds to win the July Cup at Newmarket, this time starting at 10-1. 2009 winner Prime Defender was another high-class winner from the Barry Hills yard, winning the Duke Of York Stakes in 2010.

Key Cammidge Trophy Trials

The Cammidge Trophy attracts horses who have excelled in handicap company and are now ready to step up in class.

Former winners of the Ayr Gold Cup, Portland Handicap and Stewards’ Cup have all run here in the past.

The next target for the winner is often the Palace House Stakes at Newmarket’s Craven meeting.

Cammidge Trophy Betting Trends

The last outright favourite to win the Cammidge Trophy was Jack Dexter in 2013, returned 15-8. Perfect Pasture (2018) won as the 4-1 joint-favourite but they were the only successful market leaders in the past ten seasons.

The longest-priced winners were Dinkum Diamond (2014) and Volatile Analyst (2022) at 12-1. Mobsta (2016) won at 8-1, Royal Commando (2021) returned at 15-2 and Tupi (2017) won at 7-1.

The last ten winners were rated 108 and 116 (Invincible Army 2019). Four and five-year-olds have the best recent record.

Cammidge Trophy – Top Trainers and Jockeys

The last sixteen renewals of the Cammidge Trophy have all gone to different trainers.

Barry Hills won it three times with Royal Applause (1997), La Cucaracha (2005) and Prime Defender (2009). His son Charles won it in 2021 with Royal Commando.

It is a similar story for the jockeys with fifteen different riders winning it since 2007. Neil Callan was the most recent rider to win it twice; Le Arcs (2006) and The Cheka (2012).

Betting on the Cammidge Trophy

The Cammidge Trophy has proved quite tricky for punters in recent seasons. It usually goes to a sprinter with form at a higher level earlier in their career so official ratings could help to solve the puzzle.
