The Caulfield Racing Club received 175 early entries for this season’s Group 1 $5 million Carlton Draught Caulfield Cup (2400m) including a host of overseas-trained runners.

Sitting top of the updated all-in Caulfield Cup odds online at Ladbrokes.com.au is one of the visitors with the Simon & Ed Crisford-trained West Wind Blows at $11.

The smart son of Teofilo also features in the 178 Ladbrokes Cox Plate 2023 nominations taken on Tuesday and looks set to make an impact down under over the spring.

Equal at $11 in pre-field Caulfield Cup betting this year is the imported Without A Fight for Anthony & Sam Freedman who won Brisbane’s Group 2 The Q22 over the winter.

Japanese galloper Mer De Glace (2019) was the last internationally-trained Caulfield Cup winner.

Another stayer from Japan is being targeted for this year’s event with the Tatsuya Yoshioka-trained Breakup at $15 to win.

Win Mighty, runner-up in the 2020 Japanese Oaks, for Maasto Nishizono is the other Japanese-trained galloper looking to contest this year’s race.

Deauville Legend ($15) is another raider being kept safe in the markets for British horseman James Ferguson, with the Sea The Stars gelding best known for his fourth to Gold Trip in last year’s Melbourne Cup results.

Other notable, potential international Caulfield Cup contenders include Israr from the UK, Group 1 Irish Champion winner Luxembourg for former Cox Plate winning Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien, and Valiant King prepared by his son Joesph who won the 2019 Cox Plate with State Of Rest.

Last year’s winning trainer Chris Waller with Durston (2022) dominates the 2023 Caulfield Cup nominations numbers-wise with 19 entries for his bid at back-to-back victories.

Among the Waller-trained Caulfield Cup hopefuls this year are 2022 Cox Plate third place-getter El Bodegon, Moonee Valley Gold Cup champ Francesco Guardi, his young Queensland Derby champ Kovalica, and Rosehill Guineas winner from the autumn Lindermann.

Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott are also in with a strong hand nominating for 10 gallopers including the ultra-consistent Roy Higgins Quality winner at Flemington back in March Goldman and the classy grey White Marlin.

The 2023 Caulfield Cup first acceptances close at midday local time on Tuesday the 12^th of September, 2023.
