History

The first time the race was run as the Labour Day Cup was on 7 May 1956 as a 10 furlong event on a seven race meeting at Doomben and was held on Labour Day which at the time was the first Monday in May.[2] The race was upgraded to a Listed race in 1979.[3] The race continued to be held on Labour Day until 2003 when it was rescheduled for late April with the name change to Doomben Carnival Cup.[4] In 2005 the race was set to the current name Lord Mayor's Cup[5] and since 2006 the race is on the Doomben Cup racecard.[1]
The race has had several changes in the running distance.[5]
