Melbourne Racing tips Australian Cup – past winners

Some of those gallopers that have won the Australian Cup include Zipping (2010), Makybe Diva (2005), Lonhro (2004), Northerly (2003 & 2001), Octagonal (1997), Saintly (1996), Better Loosen Up (1991) and Vo Rogue (1990-89). Now that’s a group of serious racehorses. Of course Harlem is the winner of the 2018 and 2019 Australian Cups and whilst not in the class of the above it is still a mighty effort.
Melbourne Racing tips Australian Cup – the key stats
The Australian Cup is the “Autumn Cox Plate” during the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival and the best weight for age horses in the land contest this group 1 feature over 2000m at Flemington. History suggests the race has a winner profile of being won by an older seasoned weight for age horse. There has only been one three 3 year olds win in the last 35 years to win one of those, Saintly. It’s a real stretch for the youngsters to compete.
The winner most commonly comes through the Group 2 St George Stakes (now called the Peter Young) which is run a couple of weeks earlier at Caulfield which was won by Avilius, a short price fav this year. The other lead up races are generally The Futurity and the CF Orr stakes. It is worth noting that mares are generally tested as well with only one mare winning in the last 19 years, Makybe Diva.
Bart Cummings is the King of the Melbourne Cup but also the Australian Cup. The legendary past trainer has won this event a record 13 times, quite amazing.
The winner and placegetters from the Australian Cup will then look to head north to Sydney for the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival typically for the 2000m Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Randwick worth $4 million.
