View additional details of the Mornington Cup winners including the winning jockeys, trainers and times dating back to 1963 further down the page.

Also listed are the Mornington Cup winning trainers, jockeys, weights carried to victory by the recent Mornington Cup winners and the winning times in the $300,000 Listed autumn feature.

Note: The Mornington Cup distance changed from 2000m to 2400m in 2008.

Each year the Mornington Cup winner is exempt from ballot for that spring’s Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m).

The last multiple Mornington Cup winner was three-time champion Gunnamatta (2002, 2003, 2004).

Voile D’Or (2001) was the last Mornington Cup winning mare.

Berisha holds the current Mornington Cup record over 2400m winning in 2016 in a time of 2 minutes 25:42 seconds.

The 2023 Mornington Cup winner was the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained Right You Are ($5) who narrowly defeated fellow $5 shot Hezashocka in a thrilling photo-finish.

The 2024 Mornington Cup winner was the nine-year-old Matthew Smith-trained Esti Feny ($31) who improved on a lead-up eighth in the Group 1 Australian Cup to post a dominant win and claim the Caulfield Cup ballot exemption.
