The race has a history of producing top-class talent, with Cross Counter adding the Melbourne Cup to his resume in 2018. Previous renewals were won by Crystal Ocean, Ulysses, and Highland Reel, with last year’s honors going to Desert Hero.
This year’s entries showcase a mix of untapped potential and proven credentials. Three of the contenders have only raced twice, bringing fresh promise to the field. Meanwhile, seasoned performers include course winner Meydaan, Derby participant Bellum Justum, and Epsom Derby fifth-place finisher Sayedaty Sadaty.
