Tasmania’s premier sprint for three-year-olds, The Baker Group 3YO Cup (1200m), has been granted provisional approval for Listed status by the Asian Pattern Committee.

If officially ratified, the race will be worth $150,000 and be run as a Listed black-type event from the 2026/27 season.

Since its inception in 2003, the 3YO Cup has established itself as a key feature of the Summer Racing Festival, producing outstanding winners including Deroche, Still A Star, The Inevitable and Hot Dipped.

The elevation to black-type status is a major boost for Tasmania’s racing industry, providing greater opportunities for owners, breeders and trainers while enhancing the state’s already strong three-year-old program.

The 2026 Baker Group 3YO Cup will be run on Friday, 20 November, alongside the Listed Tasmanian Newmarket, creating one of the biggest nights on the Tasmanian racing calendar.
