The Caulfied Cup is one of the oldest horse races in Australia, with a history that stretches back to 1879. Over the years, this event has been won by some of the very best horses in Australia and around the world, including names like Viewed in 2009, Northerly in 2002, Mannerism in 1992, and Elvstroem in 2004.
The historic results for this race are a very interesting read, with many winners here going on to perform well in other premier events throughout their career. The Caulfield Cup is a good form guide for events like the Wakeful Stakes, Moonee Valley Cup, and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, along with the famous Melbourne Cup.
