The Caulfield Cup, a group one race, is run over 2400 meters and is one of Australia's toughest handicap races. The race was first run in the autumn of 1879 with Newminster being the first horse to win the cup.

Two horses claimed the cup in 1881 as it was switched to the spring, so that Blue Ribbon was a winner in the autumn and Master Avenel in the spring. The only other occasion where two Caulfield Cup winners have emerged in the same year was again in 1943 when the race was run in two divisions to accommodate the large number of entries.

The Caulfield cup has also seen the worst race fall in Australian turf history when in the Cup of 1885, 16 of the 44 runners fell, resulting in jockey Donald Nicholson’s death.

The Caulfield Cup is an important lead up race to the Melbourne Cup and a race which has been won by some of the best horses Australia has seen. Worth over 2 million dollars, the Caulfield Cup is one of Australia’s most exciting races, linking with the Melbourne cup to form Australia’s most popular betting double.
