Maribyrnong Plate News
The Group 3 2020 Maribyrnong Plate is a 1000m sprint currently held at Flemington Racecourse on Melbourne Cup Day on the first Tuesday of November each Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Restricted to two year olds and run under set weights, the Maribyrnong Plate is an exciting test of sprinting skill. With $200,000 prize money, this is quite a lucrative race for the young ones who otherwise don’t have many dedicated black-type races during spring.
The Maribyrnong Plate, formerly held on the last day of the Cup Carnival and in recent years on Oaks Day, now shares a race schedule with the ‘race that stops a nation’ – the Group 1 $8 million Lexus Melbourne Cup (3200m).
Two year olds generally target the Maribyrnong Plate following a few decent starts in events with similar conditions. Plenty of the juveniles in the Maribyrnong Plate are on debut, meaning any trial form is important for punters to keep an eye on.
Following the Maribyrnong Plate, horses will generally go for a spell to mature ahead of the autumn or the Listed Merson Cooper Stakes (1000m) at Sandown a week later might be an opportunity for some of the keener two year olds.
The form of the race often stacks-up in the following year’s autumn carnival including when the 2019 third placegetter Tagaloa returned to win the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes next prep.
The 2020 Maribyrnong Plate ran at Flemington on Melbourne Cup Day, Tuesday November 3, 2020 , and was won in an upset by Finance Tycoon.

The Maribyrnong Plate was inaugurated in 1871, with Argus Scandal taking out the initial edition of the race. The race has been held every year since then.
In 1994 the distance was adjusted to 1200m, then reduced to 1100m in 1995. In 1996 it returned to 1000m, which it has remained at since.
The Maribyrnong Plate once had Group 2 status, but was downgraded in 2005.
Because of its long history, the Maribyrnong Plate has seen its share of decent horses over the years. Some of the more notable Maribyrnong Plate winners include The Admiral (1889), Heroic (1923), Cellar Master (1951), Biscay (1967), Vain (1969) and Bel Esprit (2001).
