Caloundra Cup
Looking for this year’s Caloundra Cup betting odds, race form and tips? The experts at Neds have put together everything you need to know on the race.
Run over 2,400 metres, the Caloundra Cup is a Listed race taking place at Corbould Park Racecourse on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast each winter.
The event is the key support act to the Group 3 Winx Guineas (1600m) for three-year-olds, and is a quality handicap offering $300,000 in total prize money.
A potential lead-up into the Caloundra Cup field is the previous weekend’s Listed Tattersall’s Cup (2400m) held at Eagle Farm on Tatt’s Tiara Day.
Many Caloundra Cup horses may continue onto the Listed Grafton Cup and Supply And Demand (2017) followed by Zoumon (2023) are the latest horses to do the double.
In 2022 the Caloundra Cup runner-up Arapaho won the Grafton Cup next start, while that year’s Caloundra Cup winner Le Don De Vie went on to run second in the Group 1 The Metropolitan (2400m) that October in Sydney.
