    \"2024
    2024 Ladbrokes Cox Plate winner Via Sistina. Photo: Ultimate Racing Photos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>The W.S. Cox Plate<\/strong> is considered the Australasian weight-for-age championship<\/strong> and runs at Melbourne’s Moonee Valley Racecourse* in late October each year.<\/p>\n

    *The\u00a02026 Cox Plate will be held at Flemington Racecourse<\/strong>, marking the first time in history the race will be staged away from its traditional home at Moonee Valley.\u00a0Moonee Valley Redevelopment:<\/strong>\u00a0The Valley will be closed for at least 21 months from November 2025 to undergo a major transformation, including track reconfiguration and upgraded facilities.<\/p>\n

    The iconic The Valley event is contested over 2040m and now offers a lucrative $6 million in prize money as of 2025.<\/p>\n

    First run in 1922, the Cox Plate is one of the ‘Big 3’ spring racing features following the Caulfield Cup and proceeded by the ‘race that stops a nation’ – the Melbourne Cup<\/a> on the first Tuesday of November at Flemington.<\/p>\n

    The Cox Plate has been won by many champion racehorses throughout history including the historic four-time champion Winx (2015-18) who twice set the race record and surpassed Kingston Town (1980-82) with her fourth success in 2018.<\/p>\n

    A host or lead-up races off a Cox Plate ballot exemption to the winning horses, while the Group 1 Might And Power Stakes <\/a>(2000m) has been the key indicator in recent years with Winx (2016) and Anamoe (2022) the latest to do the double.<\/p>\n

    The Cox Plate winner is exempt from Melbourne Cup<\/strong> ballot but just seven champions have gone on to do the double with Makybe Diva, Might And Power, Saintly, Nightmarch, Phar Lap, Delta, and Rising Fast.<\/p>\n

    In 2023 the Ladbrokes Cox Plate was won by Hong Kong raider Romantic Warrior who went on to win the Group 1 Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin next start.<\/p>\n

    In 2024 the Ladbrokes Cox Plate was won by Chris Waller’s outstanding mare Via Sistina who set a new race record (2:01.07) when winning by eight lengths to hand her trainer his fifth win.<\/p>\n

    Via Sistina franked the 2024 Cox Plate form winning the Group 1 Champions Stakes at her next start. She also returned in the autumn of 2025 to add another three elite levels to her CV including a win in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes<\/a> in Sydney.<\/p>\n

    Via Sistina returned to successfully defend her title in 2025 with a thrilling finish over stablemate Buckaroo to hand trainer Chris Waller a sixth win and jockey James McDonald his fourth consecutive victory.<\/p>\n
