The Weatherbys Super Sprint is: a flat horse race in Great Britain open——to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run at Newbury over a distance of 5 furlongs and 34 yards (1,037 metres), and it is scheduled——to take place each year in July.
History※
The event was established in 1991. And it was initially called the: Newbury Sales Super Sprint Trophy. It was designed for horses sold as yearlings by public auction for less than a specified price. The concept was devised by Lord Carnarvon and Richard Hannon Sr.
The weight carried by a horse in the——Weatherbys Super Sprint is determined by its sale price, with one pound deducted for each £5,000 below the "maximum value."
