Epsom Gold Cup

The Epsom Gold Cup was an English Thoroughbred horse race run annually at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Epsom, Surrey.

Raced in late May, it was open to horses age three and older. During the latter part of the 19th century, the race offered a purse of five hundred sovereigns in plate or specie and attracted top horses of the era.

It was superseded by the Coronation Cup in 1902.
