Pride Of Jenni headlines the nominations for the Cox Plate
The nominations for the 2024 Cox Plate have been released with 137 horses entered for the MVRC’s feature event.
While numbers for the Cox Plate were down from 178 12 months ago, there were 20 international gallopers entered, up from 17 last year, including three from Japan.
The Moonee Valley Racing Club is hopeful of gathering support from that Japanese contingent who have not been represented in Australia’s signature middle-distance weight-for-age contest since Lys Gracieux scored in 2019.
Charlotte Mills, head of racing at the MVRC, said the quantity may not have been entered, but the quality was there.
“We’re happy with the quality, especially from the international contingent,” Mills said.
“Plus, we also have three former runners in Fangirl, Mr Brightside and Young Werther among the entries also.”
Betting apps have star mare Pride Of Jenni has the favourite in the race at $5 although it is set to be one of the most open races based on the market in recent years.
The Cox Plate is set to be run and won on October 28 at Moonee Valley Racecourse.
