THE COX PLATE

Australia's richest weight-for-age prize and part of the Emirates World Series of Racing.

THE COX PLATE RACE HISTORY

In honour of the founder of Moonee Valley, William Samuel Cox, the Moonee Valley Racing Club Committee decided to run a weight-for-age race over 2040m.

Offering a purse of 1000 Pounds, the W.S. Cox Plate was first run in 1922 and was won by imported stallion Violencello. He was a nine-year-old who the previous year had won the Caulfield Cups at only his fifth start in Australia after being brought out from England.

Strategically placed on the racing calendar between the Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup, the Cox Plate has become a race of great importance and prestige. It is regarded as the best weight-for-age race in Australasia and one of the most exciting race days in the world.
