The Moonee Valley Cup has a rich history and was first run back in 1883, with Castaway claiming victory. Since then some notable runners have won the race, including Melbourne Cup-winners Kingston Rule, American and Prinze Of Penzance.
In 1883, the Moonee Valley Cup was classed as a Principal Race, however, from 1980 onwards it has been regarded as a Group 2.
Like most Listed and Group race in the country, Chris Waller has had great success in the Moonee Valley Cup of late. He has won twice in the last four years, first with Grand Marshal and then with Who Shot Thebarman.
Aidan O’Brien’s Hunting Horn ran 2:39.48 to win the 2019 edition of the Moonee Valley Cup. However, the fastest time in the race over the last 20 years belongs to Ventura Storm, who in 2018 clocked 2:34.37.
