The Caulfield Cup results are hotly anticipated every year, especially as the race is one of the qualifying events for the prestigious Melbourne Cup run over the two miles at Flemington on the first Tuesday of November. As soon as the Caulfield Cup results are in, the odds offered on hopefuls for the Melbourne Cup are frantically adjusted. Caulfield Cup winners usually firm in Melbourne Cup betting should they press onto the ‘race that stops a nation’, so it is imperative for the passionate punter to keep on top of the Caulfield Cup results and the results of other qualifying races.

Caulfield Cup Day traditionally runs on the third Saturday of October and betting on the season’s upcoming Caulfield Cup results is open months in advance at online bookmakers including Ladbrokes.com.au.

Favourites in Caulfield Cup betting have a good record in the most recent Caulfield Cup results with wins by Mongolian Khan (2015), Jameka (2016) and Verry Elleegant (2020). There have also been plenty of notable upset Caulfield Cup results over the past decade including All The Good who saluted at massive odds of 40/1 in 2008, while in 2017 the shock Caulfield Cup winner Boom Time jumped at 50/1.

The 2019 Caulfield Cup results saw Japanese-trained Mer De Glace storm home to make it six straight wins first-up down under with Damian Lane aboard the Melbourne Cup-bound stayer.

The 2020 Caulfield Cup results saw the Chris Waller-trained Verry Elleegant become the 22nd mare to take out the race.

The 2021 Caulfield Cup results saw the Peter Moody-trained favourite Incentivise ($2.30F) score a big 3.5 length win from barrier 18 of 18 as the favourite making it three straight Group 1 victories in Melbourne for the spring.

The 2022 Caulfield Cup results saw trainer Chris Waller enjoy a second win in three years with an upset by the first emergency Durston at $18.

The 2023 Caulfield Cup results saw the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained import Without A Fight ($8.50) salute in a narrow thriller when defeating his former stablemate, UK raider and beaten favourite West Wind Blows, by a long neck.

Past Caulfield Cup Results

Remember to check on the Melbourne Cup odds as soon as you know the latest Caulfield Cup results

If you are looking to bet on the Caulfield Cup it can never hurt to check out past Caulfield Cup results. As the Caulfield Cup is open to thoroughbreds over the age of three it is possible for contenders to compete in the event several years running, so young thoroughbreds might return to win after coming second or third in their first attempt. It is also useful to know which trainers and jockeys tend to do well in the Caulfield Cup, as they tend to do well repeatedly.

No horse has won  back-to-back editions of the Caulfield Cup since Rising Fast (1954-55), with the only other dual Caulfield Cup winner since being Ming Dynasty (1977 and 1980) on non-successive years.

Looking over past Caulfield Cup results can also be helpful when betting on other races of similar distance and track conditions. If a horse performs well but just falls short in the Caulfield Cup it may perform better in a slightly shorter race – and you will be able to make these informed decisions once you have researched the past Caulfield Cup results.

Caulfield Cup winners usually go on to run in other major Australian horse racing events, such as the Melbourne Cup. The Caulfield Cup – Melbourne Cup double has previously been achieved by 11 stayers in a single season with Ethereal (2001) the most recent.

Some successful runners from the Caulfield Cup go on to long careers as studs, siring new talent for racing seasons to come. Check out our dedicated Caulfield Cup form guide section to learn how to find out which thoroughbred athletes have sired this year’s favourite runners.

There have been six Caulfield Cup winners outside of Australia / New Zealand. Mirage Dancer (2019) from Japan, ill-fated Japanese raider Admire Rakti (2014) and Godolphin’s Best Solution (2018) are the most recent internationally-trained Caulfield Cup winners from outside of Australia or New Zealand.
