The lead-up to the Cox Plate is always a highlight, starting with the much-loved Breakfast With The Best on Tuesday, followed by the barrier draw, which shapes the excitement for the week. However, this year’s anticipation is on another level, with a stellar lineup expected for the prestigious 2040m Group 1 race.
Prognosis is the current $3.70 favourite with betting sites ahead of the Aussie contingent in Via Sistina at $4.20, Pride Of Jenni at $6.00 and Broadsiding at $7.00. All other horses in the race are at double figure quotes including last years Cox Plate runner up Mr Brightside at $10 after being beaten as the odds on favourite in the Caulfield Stakes.
