Caulfield Cup 2026

On October 17, 2026, Kingswood won the $6 million prize in a thrilling finish at the 150th Caulfield Cup held at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne. The race was attended by large crowds dressed elegantly and included prominent figures like Racing Victoria boss Aaron Morrison and former Collingwood president Eddie McGuire. However, the event was marred by tragedy when Ohope Wins, a mare trained by Chris Waller, had to be euthanized after suffering a nasty fall at the 250m mark. While Ohope Wins did not survive, her jockey Jye McNeil and other participants were unharmed. The race saw Kingswood beat Saint George with Mark Zahra riding Half Yours, which was later brought back to its feet and returned safely to the mounting yard.
