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 is also limited to serving or ex-serving members of the armed forces. A similar race, the Royal Artillery Gold Cup, is run at Sandown in February.[1]
