Maribyrnong Plate Winners
From the race’s inauguration in 1871, all the way up to the present day, we have a comprehensive list of Maribyrnong Plate winners from past editions of the two-years-old feature on Melbourne Cup Day that is headlined by the running of the world’s richest handicap – the Group 1 Melbourne Cup (3200m).
Argus Scandal (1871) was the inaugural Maribyrnong Plate winner.
The first Maribyrnong Plate winner to go on to win the Melbourne Cup race was Newhaven (1895) who won the ‘race that stops a nation’ the following year as a three-year-old in 1896.
The 1969 Maribyrnong Plate winner Baguette became the first Two Year Old Triple Crown champion.
The 2022 Maribyrnong Plate winner was the Simon Zhara-trained Krakarib ($26) who scored an upset all-the-way win as the rank outsider second-up turning the tables off his sixth in the Trial on debut when ridden back.
The 2023 Maribyrnong Plate winner was the Tony & Calvin McEvoy-trained Dublin Down ($11) who had run fourth in the trial before a last start second at Bendigo before winning the Group 3 at his third start with a flashing run down the outside thanks to a gun ride by Zac Purton.
