2010 Cox Plate Third Declarations Leaves 24 Hopefuls

Just 24 weight-for-age gallopers remain in contention for the 2010 Cox Plate after the third declarations for the Moonee Valley feature were taken by Racing Victoria today.

Twenty-five horses have been cut from the Cox Plate entries at the third declaration stage today, but with the $3 million Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) having a field limit of just 14 runners, another 10 horses will not make the Cox Plate field.

Hot favourite to win the 2010 Cox Plate is defending champ So You Think, trained by the renowned Bart Cummings.

Aside from So You Think, Cummings also has his Redoute’s Choice mare Allez Wonder still on the Cox Plate path.

So You Think is paying $2.50 in the Cox Plate betting markets at Sportbet, while Allez Wonder is a long shot chance at $201.

Updated 2010 Cox Plate Odds Following Third Declarations

  • So You Think ($2.50)
  • Whobegotyou ($6)
  • More Joyous ($7)
  • Shoot Out ($9)
