TS Carlyon Cup News
The TS Carlyon Cup is a Group 3 status race for milers run at Caulfield Racecourse* on C.F. Orr Stakes Day in February.
*In 2023 the 2023 TS Carlyon Cup and C.F. Orr Stakes Day card ran at Ladbrokes Park Hillside, Sandown.
CF Orr Stakes Day is the first Group 1 race meeting of the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival and is headlined by the CF Orr Stakes (1400m). A number of Group 2 and 3 status races also take place on the card including the Group 2 Rubiton Stakes (1100m), Group 2 Autumn Stakes (1400m), the two Blue Diamond Prelude races, and the TS Carlyon Cup.
Contested over 1600m the Carlyon Cup is an open set weights plus penalties event offering $200,000 in total prize money. Horses may come into the Carlyon Cup field via an earlier summer – autumn lead-up or contest the event first-up.
Possible later targets for TS Carlyon Cup graduates include the Group 2 Peter Young Stakes (1800m) back at the track a fortnight later before the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) at Flemington in early March.
Miss Siska (2020) and Avilius (2019) are the latest runners to complete the TS Carlyon Cup – Peter Young Stakes double. Aviilus also franked the form later in the autumn taking out Sydney’s Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) – Tancred Stakes (2400m) double at Rosehill. The last Carlyon Cup – Australian Cup double winner meanwhile was Manighar (2012).
The 2022 Carlyon Cup form was franked with the runner-up Callsign Mav returning in the spring to win the Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m). Spanish Mission meanwhile ran third in both the 2022 Carlyon Cup and Group 1 Australian Cup results that autumn.
In 2023 the Carlyon Cup winner Pounding went on to finish third in the Australian Cup.
The TS Carlyon Cup 2024 ran on Saturday February 10, 2024 at Caulfield Racecourse on CF Orr Stakes Day and was won in style by the consistent Ciaron Maher-trained mare Yonce ($3.40).

Ciaron Maher’s mare Yonce ($3.40) silenced doubters with a commanding victory in the 2024 TS Carlyon Cup results. With her latest win being back in March 2022, the six-year-old Proisir mare displayed her class, charging home to claim her seventh career victory in style.

2024 Carlyon Cup Tips
Stay tuned for our insider TS Carlyon Cup 2024 Tips on the Orr Stakes Day support act this season.
- To Win: #2 Loft ($13 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Trained by the successful Hayes team, who are adept at getting horses ready for first-up runs, is German expat Loft. The horse is lightly-raced with potential having just his 13th start on Saturday. Loft is a dual Group 2 winner overseas whose past success at a high level indicates ability. Recent Geelong trial suggests he’s in good form heading into the race. Historically performs well in first-up runs. Currently undervalued by the market.

Carlyon Cup History
The T.S. Carlyon Cup was first run in 1977 when Ngawyni took out the race. A host of top turf stars have since added their names to the TS Carlyon Cup winners list including Hyperno (1978), Super Impose (1989), Veandercross (1993), Northerly (2001), Apache Cat (2007), Smokin’ Joey (2015), Gailo Chop (2018), and Avilius (2019).
The race was contested over 2000m until 1997 and has been run over 1400m, 1600m and 1800m since. It has been kept at a mile (1600m) since 2001. Starting out as a Principal race the Carlyon Cup gained Group 2 status from 1980 – 2002 before being downgraded to a Group 3 race in 2003.
