Fast facts

Only one horse has won a Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup in the same year – the great Rising Fast in 1954.

Twenty-three mares have won the Caulfield Cup, with the most recent being Verry Elleegant in 2020.

Nine horses that have placed second or third in a Melbourne Cup have returned the following year to win it. The most recent is Fiorente, who won in 2013 after finishing second behind Green Moon in 2012.

In 2021, Hitotsu won the Victoria Derby in sensational style; in the 2022 autumn, he became only the third horse – joining Mahogany (1993) and Dulcify (1978) – to go on to also win the Australian Derby. In the 2023–24 season, Chris Waller’s Riff Rocket became the fourth horse to complete the Derby double.
