Caulfield Cup Day traditionally runs on the third Saturday in October and is the first of the ‘Big 3’ Spring Majors followed by the Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup. Caulfield Cup Day in Melbourne is run on the same date as Sydney’s $20 million The Everest – the richest turf race in the world – held at Royal Randwick Racecourse.
In 2024 trainer Ciaron Maher made history winning both The Everest in Sydney with Bella Nipotina and the Caulfield Cup in Melbourne with Duke De Sessa.
The Caulfield Cup is regarded as one of the key lead-up races to the iconic Melbourne Cup run over the two miles at Flemington on the first Tuesday of November.
The major Spring Cup’s double has been achieved by 12 horses including Let’s Elope in 1991, Doriemus in 1995, Might and Power in 1997, Ethereal in 2001, and most recently Without A Fight in 2023.
In 2022 the Caulfield Cup form was franked with the runner-up Gold Trip going on to win that year’s Melbourne Cup for the Maher/Eustace stable.
Gold Trip returned carrying the 58.5kg top-weight in the 2023 Caulfield Cup and finished a brave third behind the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained winner Without A Fight who went on to become the latest stayer to do the Caulfield Cup – Melbourne Cup double.
The latest edition of the Caulfield Cup 2024 ran on Saturday, October 19, 2024 and was won in dominant fashion by the Ciaron Maher-trained front runner Duke De Sessa ($11).

Incentivise ($2.30 in 2021) was the last favourite in Caulfield Cup betting to win.
In 2022 Smokin’ Romans jumped the $3.70 Caulfield Cup favourite but never got into clear running an only managed to run 2.3 lengths back seventh behind the upset winner Durston ($18).

2024 Caulfield Cup Tips
Click here to read our complete Caulfield Cup 2024 tips and best bets.
To Win: #15 Deny Knowledge ($17 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Sticking with a form mare who looks excellent on the quick back-up despite the barrier making her chances a little tougher.
A front runner leading all the way in a Caulfield Cup? Why not?! This Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Pride Of Dubai seven-year-old was given a bold ride by Mark Zahra second-up in the Group 1 Might And Power (2000m) here last weekend when taking control in the lead and outrunning them all including the odds-on favourite Mr Brightside.
That was a huge effort at weight-for-age and she drops right back in from the 57kg she carried with ease there to just 50.5kg on the Caulfield Cup weights. She will be absolutely airborne under those kilos with Craig Newitt a very nice lightweight champ to have aboard for the ride.
Verry Elleegant (2020) was the last Caulfield Cup winning mare and Deny Knowledge ticks a few of the same boxes.
This Grafton Cup winner was fifth to Buckaroo the run before in the Underwood over the 1800m but will relish the 2400m now.
This is obviously her toughest test to date, but she’s proven at the distance, and we know she can stay.
Barrier 17 is a blow as she’ll need to work to get up in front from there but if she gets out quick and doesn’t use too much energy crossing them, she’ll give them something to chase!
The Danger: #2 Buckaroo ($4.40 at time of publish) – BET NOW
You cannot bet on the Caulfield Cup this year and leave Buckaroo out, you just can’t.
He won the Underwood Stakes in such style two back when putting 3.5 lengths on his closest rival over the 1800m here on the back of a Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes win fresh in Sydney.
This six-year-old son of Fastnet Rock is in peak form, presents rock-hard fit, and represents dual Caulfield Cup winning trainer Waller.
Gets things his way from an ideal barrier eight draw with the ‘Magic Man’ Joao Moreira retaining the ride. The Brazilian hoop has a wonderful record in the Group 1 races down under and has his third straight ride on the horse.
Latest run was a narrow loss in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) just edged out by Via Sistina – the ace mare heading the Melbourne Cup weights this year – at Flemington.
He gets weight relief now down from 58kg to 54.5kg and looks extremely well rated at those kilos.
Needs to answer the distance question but based on what he’s done here and overseas and the form he is in think he’ll run it out and could salute for the punters without surprising.
Each Way: #7 Eliyass ($7 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Eliyass has been near the top of Caulfield Cup betting all spring and continues to deserve a spot in all the Caulfield Cup best bets.
This talented Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained import is putting together a terrific record down under and comes in with confidence despite a blow drawing the extreme outside alley.
Incentivise (2021) was the last Caulfield Cup winner from gate 18 of 18 and this son of Le Harve has support to be the next.
He’s a six-year-old son of Le Harve still lightly raced with Saturday just his 13th start. A very progressive type and already a nine-time winner.
Yet to do it over further than 2000m but he won the Group 3 Kingston Town in Sydney two back which is proving a strong form race this season and think he’ll be better off the Turnbull run up to the mile and a half.
Definitely one to watch out for!
The Roughie: #10 Duke De Sessa ($18 at time of publish) – BET NOW
The price on this Ciaron Maher-trained galloper is attractive for a bit of a flutter and the word could be getting out with a slight move seeing him backed in from $21 to $18 at time of publish.
There’s a host of ‘next best’ in this field but think Harry Coffey’s mount ticks a few boxes in on just 52kg and drawn well in gate six.
The Irish-bred six-year-old needs to shrug his Caulfield hoodoo yet to win from six previous starts at the course but he brings in those form lines we’re all loving with back-to-back fourths in the Underwood and Turnbull respectively.
Was competitive in those lead-ups and unlike the top fancy Buckaroo is proven at the Caulfield Cup distance (4:2-0-1).
Wider out in gate 14 with a kilo more last year running ninth.
Good in plenty since and think he’s a better top three hope this season.
The best Caulfield Cup betting tips each year use the Caulfield Cup form guide as the reference point and consider things like the lead-up runs, distance record, jockey, trainer and barrier of the contender.

The Caulfield Cup field attracts the season’s best stayers from both Australian and international racing stables. Many of the horses in the Caulfield Cup field are looking to stretch out to the two miles of the iconic Melbourne Cup (3200m) on the first Tuesday of November at Flemington.
Good lead-up races into the Caulfield Cup each spring including the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) at Flemington that produced the 2016 winner Jameka (2nd) and Verry Elleegant (2020) who did the double, and the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes. Incentivise (2021) was the last stayer to complete the Turnbull Stakes – Caulfield Cup double.
Duke De Sessa (4th in 2024) was the last Caulfield Cup winner to come via the Turnbull Stakes.
Horses coming into the Caulfield Cup field via a Sydney Spring Racing Carnival run traditionally have contested the Group 1 The Metropolitan (2400m) at Royal Randwick three weeks earlier. Both Railings (2005) and Tawqeet (2006) came off a The Metropolitan win before their respective victories in the Caulfield Cup. More recently the 2021 The Metropolitan winning mare Montefilia ran a brave fourth in that year’s Caulfield Cup results.
In 2024 The Metropolitan winner Land Legend ran third in that year’s Caulfield Cup trifecta next start.
In 2022 Durston improved on a lead-up sixth in The Metropolitan before his upset Caulfield Cup success for Team Waller.
In 2023 Without A Fight won the Caulfield Cup fresh off a first-up lead-up in the Group 1 Underwood Stakes (1800m) at the track the month before.
