2011 Melbourne Cup Before Nominations

Sunday, June 26th, 2011 posted by admin (Comments)

Earlier this year Racing Victoria announced that the 2011 Melbourne Cup nominations will close a month later than in previous years. Nominations for the $6.2 million race will now close on Thursday, 1 September. The weights will be released two weeks later than traditionally.

The decision was made to bring the Emirates Melbourne Cup nomination deadline closer to the race itself so that the entry list will be more compact and relevant. This will result in a better handicap because the Melbourne Cup will have a list of weights that is more representative of the various entrants’ respective racing abilities, when the race is run.

Other changes were also made to the conditions of the Melbourne Cup such as; the minimum standard to be liable for a weight penalty after the declaration of weights, is now to win at least a Listed Race (handicap) of 1600 metres or further, and bring the value of the 2011 Melbourne Cup owner’s trophy up from $150,000 to $175,000 due to the significant change in the price of gold since 2010. Full details of the changes are on the Racing Victoria website.
