Being at the Championship distance and at WFA, international horses have been prepared to head south, even during the pandemic. In the last decade, international runners have scored 3 wins, 2 seconds, 2 thirds and 3 fourths in the Cox Plate. It is interesting to see if Danny Shum’s ROMANTIC WARRIOR from Hong Kong and Aiden O’Brien-trained VICRTORIA ROAD from Ireland can put their Australian rivals to the sword.

With the dominance of the super mare WINX in the Cox Plate from 2015 to 2018, Chris Waller becomes the current trainer who has most winners in this prestigious G1. On top of the 4 winners, VERRY ELLEEGANT and EL BODEGON brought him 2 placings in 2021 and 2022. FANGIRL and MILITARIZE will be the hopefuls for the team in the Cox Plate this year.
