=== King's Cup ===

During the 1930 [[Adelaide Cup]] Carnival, that was held in May at the time, the SAJC inaugurated a race known as the King's Cup run over a distance of {{frac|1|1|2}} miles which was won by the famous Australian champion [[Phar Lap]].<ref name="KC_R1930"/> But by next year the race was missing from the carnival and was not seen again until 1936 when Donaster won the race over the same distance.<ref name="KC_R1936"/> After the [[World War II]] the race was renewed in 1948 when Valcurl was victorious.<ref name="KC_R1948"/>

However, the next time the race was run in 1954 the race was known as the Queen's Cup and the winner's trophy was presented by [[Queen Elizabeth II]] who was present in Adelaide.<ref name="QC_R1954"/> The name of the race has since been called the Queen's Cup.

The race has maintained its Group 3 status even though it has been run sporadically. In 1990, 2003, and 2008 the race was held at [[Cheltenham Park Racecourse|Cheltenham Park]].<ref name="QC_R2003"/> The 1996 December race was run over a distance of 2000 metres<ref name="QC_R1996"/> and in 2008 the distance was 2414 metres.<ref name="QC_R2008"/>
