The stage is set for another epic edition of the Ladbrokes Cox Plate as 137 horses have been nominated for the 104th running of the prestigious $5 million Group 1 Moonee Valley race on October 26th.

Leading the charge is the history-making mare Pride Of Jenni for Ciaron Maher who enters as the early favourite in pre-field betting at race sponsor Ladbrokes after her dominant six and a half-length victory in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes over 2000m in Sydney back in mid-April.
This year’s weight-for-age Cox Plate promises to be a true battle of champions.
Maher boasts a strong contingent of 13 nominees, including Pride Of Jenni and other Group 1 winners.
Chris Waller, the mastermind behind the legendary four-time Cox Plate hero Winx, seeks his fifth Cox Plate victory with 13 contenders, including the talented import Via Sistina who won the autumn’s Group 1 Ranvet Stakes on debut down under.
The Cox Plate continues to attract top international talent.
This year, 20 horses hail from the Northern Hemisphere, including a massive 12 entries from the stables of champion trainer Aidan O’Brien who won back in 2014 with the then Irish-trained Adelaide.
Other international contenders include entries from Japan, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.
While the spotlight shines on established champions, 34 three-year-olds are nominated, offering a glimpse into the future stars.
Group 1 JJ Atkins winner Broadsiding, trained by James Cummings, and veteran Mr Brightside, the runner-up from 2023, are among the other key contenders to watch from opposite ends of the age scale.
With 32 individual Group 1 winners in the mix, the 2024 Cox Plate promises a clash of titans.
The excitement builds as fans anticipate the final field announcement. The first acceptances will be revealed on September 10th, 2024.
