Inaugurated in 1993, the BetMGM Cup quickly ended up being a staple of "Festival Wednesday". The race is much better known to lots of as the 'Coral Cup', due to the bookie's long sponsorship, which ended in 2026.

It has a track record as a "bookies' race" due to the fact that it is exceptionally rare for a favourite to win. Run over two miles and 5 furlongs, where there is usually more than one big gamble on the day of the race. However, big rate winners of this race are very typical, so why not pursue an outsider?

Langer Dan for the Dan Skelton yard won this race in both 2023 & 2024; & 2024; he was the first-ever runner to end up being a double winner of this race.
