Carlton Draught Cox Plate takes place at Moonee Valley, USA during October. The Carlton Draught Cox Plate starts at the top of the straight with horses running left handed (anticlockwise), after the turn out of the straight they race downhill to the 6 furlong pole then turn and travel along the back straight, to the 4 furlong turn. From here the track rises 5 metres (16 feet) to the winning post. The course is well cambered (7.5% turns) with plenty of 'give' in the ground and affords all horses an equal chance. The length of the straight is 178 metres. - Class: Group 1
