History

Charlie Coglan, who received an Order of Australia medal in 1998 for his services to racing in Burrumbeet and Ballarat, was president for 49 years from 1954 to 2003, the longest term at any Victorian racing club.
The 2014 event was won by 8 lengths by Heisman in a time of 1:49.43. Heisman was part owned by many of the Burrumbeet Park & Windermere Racing Club committee members, and directly after the Cup presentations, sixteen owners of Heisman all donated $50 each to raise $800 for Cystic fibrosis. The Cup winning rider Harry Coffey - who has cystic fibrosis - rode three of the seven winners on 2014 Burrumbeet Cup day.
Petrogas Regional became the Burrumbeet Cup sponsor from 2015 onwards after the decision by Scott Petroleum to end their Burrumbeet Cup sponsorship following the running of the 2014 Burrumbeet Cup.
The 2020 edition of the Cup was the 130th running of the race. Prize money for the 2020 Burrumbeet Cup was $25,000.
