The Woodlawn Vase (Preakness Stakes Trophy) has ALWAYS stood at 34 inches high and is easily the most valuable trophy in sports. It weighs 29 lbs 12 oz. It was designed by Tiffany's & Co.
The Stanley Cup was originally just the 7.28 inch "silver bowl' at the top of the trophy we've come to know today. It was redesigned in 1963 to have the four large tiers. The fact that the Stanley Cup is now 35 inches tall makes me wonder if they added the tiers in such a way just to be taller than the Woodlawn. It weighs 34.5 lbs.
The Woodlawn Vase is also much older, having been commissioned in 1861 to Lord Stanley's 1892. The largest trophy in sport is bestowed to CSKA Sofia in friendly international tournament in Morocco in honor of Mohammed V in 1967. It weights nearly 100 kg (220 lbs). This cup is currently in CSKA Sofia's museum.
