When is caulfield cup 2011

The following year, Cup winner Shocking for trainer Mark Kavanagh did crack the kilometre mark before taking the big prize on the first Tuesday in November.

Since then, however, no winner has run that far in the lead-up to the Cup. The race has changed, and with it have gone a whole lot of assumptions and rules about how people should train horses to win the Cup. For Cummings and others, if you had a Cup chance it was almost automatic that they would have their last lead-up run on Derby Day, three days out from the big race. Three days later, carrying 6 kilos less than he had in the Mackinnon, Viewed hit the front at the m of the Melbourne Cup and went on to hold off Bauer by a nose.

Under the Cummings-style plan, horses would run in four or five lead-up races on Australian soil before the Cup. The race had already begun changing by Cummings's 11th Cup win with Rogan Josh in , and had only accelerated by the time of his last win with Viewed in The tendency of international horses to do a "hit-and-run" attempt on the Cup, with one or no lead-up races in Australia prior to Cup day, was initially written off by pundits as a strategy.

Japan's Delta Blues won in with just the Caulfield Cup as a lead-up. American and Dunaden matched Media Puzzle's approach to winning the Cup. And then came the return to the Vintage Crop plan of attack, as Rekindling , Cross Counter and Twilight Payment last year took out the Cup on their first race after arriving from Britain or Ireland. No horse — Australian or international — has won the race that stops the nation after running on Derby Day since Shocking won the Hotham Handicap before backing up for victory in the Cup in And no-one has done it since — but this year could be it.

Eleven horses in this year's horse field ran in last month's Caulfield Cup. It wasn't the perfect form guide, since the race was held on soft ground and the Melbourne Cup will be on dry, firm ground. Nevertheless, one of the reasons why Incentivise is the shortest price Melbourne Cup favourite since Phar Lap in is because of what the Peter Moody-trained horse did at Caulfield.
