Caulfield Cup Horse Race

The Caulfield Cup race is a huge event in its own right. A $5 million event, this is not only the highlight of Caulfield Cup Day but also the major lead-up race to the Melbourne Cup in November.

Any horse winning the Caulfield Cup gets automatic entry to the Melbourne Cup. The 2024 renewal will be run on Saturday, October 15th, and is staged naturally at Caulfield Racecourse. The Caulfield Cup horse race is part of the most famous Group 1 races in Melbourne, Australia such as the Melbourne Cup and the WS Cox Plate.

Race History

The Caulfield Cup was initiated way back in 1879. It quickly became one of Australia’s richest and most important horse racing events.

Originally staged over a mile-and-a-half, since the metric system was introduced, it has been promoted as a 2.400-metre race. Because of that distance and its huge prize money, the Caulfield Cup has begun to attract not only the best domestic animals but also some of the big-hitters in Europe as a prep for the Melbourne Cup.
