The WS Cox Plate |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The WS Cox Plate is a time honoured weight-for-age event held at Moonee Valley during the Melbourne spring racing carnival in October each year and attracts only the very best gallopers from Australasia and around the world. The WS Cox Plate is now worth over $3,000,000 and is known as the race where legends are made. Raced over a distance of 2040 metres, the WS Cox Plate is one of the most anticipated races of the year in Australia and is considered to be the Australasian weight-for-age championship of Australia.
Cox Plate winners and placegetters from 1922 can be found on our WS Cox Plate results page while our WS Cox Plate Betting page has the current betting markets for the race if available.
WS Cox Plate day is held at Moonee Valley on a Saturday, one week after the Caulfield Cup at Caulfield and a week before the Victoria Derby at Flemington which is the following Saturday. It provides a springboard to the upcoming Melbourne Cup carnival with four other group races over a variety of distances. The Moonee Valley Cup over 2500 metres and AAMI Vase over 2040 metres provide Cup and Derby trials for stayers and three-year-old spring hopefuls, while the Schweppes Stakes over 1200m and Crystal Mile at 1600m do the same for sprinters up to a mile. Pinker Pinker won the 2011 WS Cox Plate from Jimmy Choux in second place and Rekindled Interest third.
