As we stand with the current COVID restrictions, our members and patrons will sadly not be permitted on course for Ladbrokes Cox Plate Day on Saturday 23 October.

The Ladbrokes Cox Plate has been described as the best two minutes in sport and is widely acknowledged as ‘Australia’s Best Race.’

A raceday steeped in tradition, it is a mix of the old and the new with a global appeal. It is simply unparalleled.

100 W.S. Cox Plates have been run and won on the hallowed turf of The Valley.

Who will be the next to win Australia’s Best Race?

For all the live action from The Valley for the nine-race card tune into Channel 7 or Racing.com (channel 78).
