The Two-Year-Old Trophy is a Listed flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged two years only. It is run at Redcar over a distance of 5 furlongs and 217 yards (1,204 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in early October.
The race was first run in 1993 and was the brainchild of Lord Zetland, the racecourse's chairman from 1981 to 2018. The weights carried by the runners are determined by the horse's sale price. It was covered on BBC television in the early part of its history.
