The Grand Military Gold Cup is a National Hunt steeplechase in England which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Sandown Park over a distance of about 3 miles (3 miles and 37 yards or 4,862 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in January.

Contents

The race was first run in 1841 and the 150th running took place in 2013.

The race is restricted to (currently serving) military amateur riders. Ownership of the horses in the race was also limited to serving or ex-serving members of the armed forces prior to 2023, when the race conditions were changed to remove the restriction. [1] Prior to 2024 the race was run in March. A similar race, the Royal Artillery Gold Cup, is run at Sandown in February. [2]
