Horse Racing Trophies Designed by Tiffany

The first trophy ever created by Tiffany & Co., the Woodlawn Vase was the catalyst of our nearly two-centuries-long tradition of handcrafting the most revered symbols of athletic achievement. First crafted in 1860, the 36-inch tall, almost 30-pound sterling silver award is the second jewel in horse racing’s Triple Crown. The oldest continuously contested trophy in the United States, it is presented once each year to the winner of the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore, Maryland.

In 1897, Tiffany was commissioned to design the Belmont Memorial Challenge Cup for the Belmont Stakes, the oldest of the Triple Crown events. The founding sires of the thoroughbred horse in America are portrayed on the base of the bowl.
