Cranbourne Cup | Spring Racing Carnival

The Cranbourne Cup is a country cup event held each October at Cranbourne racecourse in south-east Melbourne during the Melbourne spring racing carnival. The race is an open handicap raced over a distance of 2025 metres and the city of Cranbourne comes alive to celebrate its major race of the year.

A number of country cups are held throughout the state of Victoria from September to November during the spring including the Geelong Cup, Bendigo Cup and Ballarat Cup.

2011 Result:	1- Boom N Zoom 2- Paddy OReilly 3- Ginga Dude

The Cranbourne Cup is held the day after Caulfield Guineas day and this country cup is a more than handy race being worth $200,000 in prizemoney. The race was won by Boom N Zoom in 2011 and is generally taken out by a handy stayer who does not do anything special during the spring carnival and is more likely to win another country cup rather than a major staying race in town.

On a Jeune ran second in the 2005 Melbourne Cup after winning this race in 2004, while the handy Barbaricus was runner-up in this race in 2008 before running 3rd in the Caulfield Cup the next Saturday and then went on to finish second in the Mackinnon Stakes on Derby day.

Below you will find Cranbourne Cup results dating back to 1990.
