Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup

The Standard Chartered Champions & Chater Cup, one of only three races over 2400m in Hong Kong each term, is the final leg of the Hong Kong Triple Crown and the final Group 1 of the Hong Kong season.

It has a history that dates back to 1870, when it was known as the Champion Stakes. In 1926, it was renamed the Chater Cup, after former Club Chairman Sir Catchick Paul Chater, before it was retitled the Champions & Chater Cup in 1955.

It was run over a variety of distances until it was switched to 2400m in 1995, gaining international G1 status in 2015. Don’t miss the thrilling race at Sha Tin Racecourse on 27 May.
