Perth Cup History
*dam Matilda by Satellite (arabian) out of "an arab mare"
**Traced to Polly Peachum, by Plenipo (by Wanderer), out of a mre whose "pedigree was lost"

Now a Group 2 race.
Distances:
1882 - 2008: 2 miles (3200 meters, 16 furlongs)
2009 - Present: 1-1/2 miles (2400 meters, 12 furlongs)

*The 2012 race was run in December 2011
NSB-- "Non Stud Book" ("NTB" in Australian Stud Book) female lines not admitted into the Australian Stud Book because the pedigrees of the foundation mares were lost or otherwise unprovable. Herbert Wanklyn and A.F. Howarth compiled a list of such families in 1949, as did Douglas Barrie in the 1950s. These are different from the so-called Colonial families only in that they were not deliniated in the Bobinski and subsequent Shirai family tables.
