Ladbrokes Cox Plate history was made with the 2024 Cox Plate results seeing Chris Waller’s Turnbull Stakes winning mare Via Sistina ($5) put her Tuesday morning mishap firmly behind her with an emphatic eight-length victory few predicted!
She made her move at the top of the short straight taking control at the 300m and racing off for an enormous victory in a new record time of 2 minutes 01.07 seconds. James McDonald celebrated his 100th Group 1 winning ride in style when securing his third straight Cox Plate on three separate horses.
The Japanese raider Prognosis ran second and the James Cummings-trained colt Broadsiding third.

Betting on the Cox Plate Field 2024
The updated 2024 Cox Plate odds on the runners in the Cox Plate field courtesy of the race sponsor Ladbrokes.com.au will be listed here a soon as markets open on the weight-for-age classic.
Each year the Ladbrokes Cox Plate field attracts a star-studded line-up of the best local and international weight-for-age horses. Run on a Saturday in late October at the notoriously tight Moonee Valley Racecourse, the Cox Plate field has a capacity of 14 starters plus four emergencies.
A large number of foreign raiders seek entry into the Ladbrokes Cox Plate field each year, and every year the Moonee Valley Racing Club (MVRC) extends an official Cox Plate invitation to a number of top international runners.
Ladbrokes Cox Plate nominations are taken in early August followed by a number of acceptance stages to whittle-down the hopeful runners to the official Cox Plate field, which is announced on the Tuesday of race week.
2024 Cox Plate Field
The 2024 Ladbrokes Cox Plate Final Field & Barriers will be released on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.
The 2024 Cox Plate final field features nine acceptors including two internationals – Prognosis and Docklands. Pride Of Jenni on the quick back-up from her King Charles III Stakes second is one of two mares in the mix along with the Chris Waller-trained Via Sistina who may not take her spot after breaking loose and dumping jockey James McDonald on Tuesday morning.

Race comments
The Group 1 Cox Plate. Outstanding race, as usual. PROGNOSIS (2) is a top-line Japanese horse who looks to emulate his compatriot Lys Gracieux who won this race in 2019. PROGNOSIS has been unlucky behind last year's winner Romantic Warrior a few times at Group 1 level in Hong Kong, often through his own manners, but if D Lane gets it right, he'll relish a fast tempo and quick ground. PRIDE OF JENNI (6) is fascinating, as she is every time she runs. Beaten last week in the King Charles, the rise in trip now suits, The Valley suits, it could set up for fireworks early. MR BRIGHTSIDE (1) is a marvel. Beaten a nose by Romantic Warrior last year, he's going as well and loves racing here. VIA SISTINA (7) was excellent winning the Turnbull and has started favourite over Jenni both times they've met. No knocks whatsoever. BROADSIDING (8) needs to bounce back from the Guineas, but he's a top-class colt and they usually do very well here.
