As far as things to do in Melbourne goes, Ladbrokes Cox Plate Day is right at the top of the list. The intimate nature of The Valley creates a unique atmosphere, as the crowd roars with anticipation and excitement. It was Hong Kong galloper Romantic Warrior who wrote his name into history in last year's edition of the W.S Cox Plate. The internationals have a good recent record in Australia’s Best Race, and there are two top contenders this year in Prognosis and Docklands, out to upset leading locals Pride Of Jenni, Broadsiding, Via Sistina, and Mr Brightside.
Champion jockey James McDonald is looking for a third straight Ladbrokes Cox Plate victory, Damian Lane is a chance for a second win on a Japanese galloper, partnering Prognosis, while Delcan Bates is searching for his first Ladbrokes Cox Plate on bold front-runner Pride Of Jenni.
Who will be the next Ladbrokes Cox Plate champion?
The entertainment continues after the racing is done on Ladbrokes Cox Plate Day, with Thirsty Merc performing live.
