Next Running: 18th October 2008
The Caulfield Cup is usually held in late October a couple of weeks before the Melbourne Cup and is largely regarded as Australia's biggest race outside the Melbourne Cup.
It is indeed one of Australia's richest races and is actually the richest 2,400 metre race in the world today. The race is open to horses 3 years or older.
The race has been held since 1879 and originally used the be run in the Autumn, but in 1943 it was moved to Spring and has remained one of Australia's biggest races since.
The Caulfield Cup is often dubbed as the First Leg of Australian Racings biggest double along side the Melbourne Cup, and horses that have won the Caulfield Cup have backed it up by winning the Melbourne Cup weeks later. Ethereal and Might & Power are two of the more recent 'Double' winners.
