The Caulfield Cup First Four is the most lucrative of the exotic bets, but also the most difficult to pick correctly. In a Caulfield Cup First Four you predict the first four runners to finish the race, in their exact order of arrival. This is clearly a tall order, but the substantial payout makes it all worthwhile.

A box First Four lets you select more than 4 horses and the order doesn't matter. Give it a try at Ladbrokes now!

The winning Caulfield Cup First Four in 2025 was:

  • 1st: No. 15 Half Yours ($2.50F)
  • 2nd: No. 13 River Of Stars
  • 3rd: No. 17 Valiant King
  • 4th: No. 2 Presage Nocturne

Note that you do need to pick the horses in exact order, as even one tiny glitch – like Valiant King running fourth and French raider Presage Nocturne getting up for third in the example above – would make your Caulfield Cup First Four a losing bet.

The Caulfield Cup First Four offers the highest pay-out of all the exotic bets. For every $1 you invest in your Caulfield Cup First Four you stand to win literally thousands of dollars. The exact rate of pay-out depends on the overall value of the race but for a race as popular as the Caulfield Cup the First Four pay-out could even send you on an around the world vacation.
