Cox Plate

Cox Plate Winners, Past Results and all the History.

From its inauguration, the Cox Plate has been acknowledged as one of the classic events in international horse racing. Almost every winner has been an outstanding horse - Phar Lap, Kingston Town, Rising Fast, Dulcify, Gunsynd, Super Impose, Octagonal, Might and Power, and Sunline's double-header in 1999 and 2000. The list of winners reads like a Who Who's of the Australian turf.

And since 1999, the Cox Plate is the only southern hemisphere race to be included in the World Series. The World Series is horse racing's Grand Prix circuit, spanning both hemispheres and four continents.

As Australasia's most prestigious race, the Cox Plate inclusion in the series in 1999 sees it listed with the world's greatest races including the Japan Cup (Japan), the Hong Kong International Cup (HK), Arlington Million (USA), Canadian International (Canada), Breeders Cup Turf and Breeders Cup Classic (USA), Irish Champion Stakes (Ireland), Grosser Preis Von Baden (Germany), and the Kind George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Ascot (UK).

No wonder the Cox Plate is called the 'greatest two minutes in sport' and its prizemoney has reacted accordingly rising to over AUD$3 million.
