recent Cup Winners

Verry Elleegant (2020), Incentivise (2021), Durston (2022), Without A Fight (2023), Duke De Sessa (2024), and Half Yours (2025) are the most recent Caulfield Cup winners.

Both Verry Elleegant and Incentivise came off a lead-up win in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) at Flemington, while Durston improved on a lead-up sixth in Sydney’s Group 1 The Metropolitan (2400m). Without A Fight won the 2023 Caulfield Cup second-up having been kept fresh after resuming with a sixth in that year’s Group 1 Underwood Stakes (1800m).

Verry Elleegant would return in the spring of 2021 and win that year’s Melbourne Cup.

The 2022 Caulfield Cup winner was the Chris Waller-trained Durston at $18 odds who made history as the first Caulfield Cup emergency to win the mile and a half classic. Durston beat home that year’s subsequent Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip who finished runner-up in the 2022 Caulfield Cup results.

The 2023 Caulfield Cup winner was the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained import Without A Fight at $8.50 ridden by Mark Zahra. The galloper was having just his fifth start in Australia when saluting in the mile-and-a-half classic after a thrilling battle over the final furlong with UK raider, his former stablemate when with Simon & Ed Crisford, West Wind Blows ($5.50F). Gold Trip ran third after finishing second last year.

Without A Fight completed the Caulfield Cup – Melbourne Cup double in 2023.

The 2024 Caulfield Cup winner was the Ciaron Maher-trained Duke De Sessa ($11) who was given a daring front-running ride by Harry Coffey to hold out the beaten favourite Buckaroo and salute by over a length.

The 2025 Caulfield Cup winner was five-year-old St Jean gelding Half Yours at $2.50 favouritism for trainers Tony & Calvin McEvoy with jockey Jamie Melham aboard on 52.5kg from barrier 2 to win by 0.46 lengths on a Good (4) track in a time of 2:29.05.
