The Melbourne Cup is one of the greatest races in the world of horse racing and is commonly referred to as “the race that stops a nation”.

With a prize purse totalling $8million, it is the world’s richest handicap race on turf, and its honour roll features no shortage of champion horses.

Check out the full table of past winners of the Melbourne Cup below, dating all the way back to the very first running in 1861. Our table features the winners, jockeys, trainers, weights, barriers, times and more!
