Cox Plate Day News
Cox Plate Day 2025Â is held on Saturday Saturday, October 25, 2025 at Moonee Valley Racecourse.
The meeting’s feature race – the $6 million Group 1 Ladbrokes Cox Plate (2040m) is scheduled to run as Race 10 at 5:40pm (AEDT) on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
Along with the Ladbrokes Cox Plate there plenty of other Group races across the Cox Plate Day card that features a bumper line-up of 10 events to enjoy a punt on at an online bookmaker such as the race sponsor Ladbrokes.com.au.

Cox Plate Day 2025 however will not feature the Manikato with the sprint forming part of its own feature night racing meeting at the same track earlier in the spring on Friday, September 26th, 2025.
