There have been some incredible Caulfield Cup runs over the past decade, so we thought we’d go take a look through the best before the Caulfield Cup 2010 runs this Saturday. Read on for our video retrospective of some glorious Caulfield Cup winners.
2009 Caulfield Cup Winner – Viewed
Viewed came into the 2009 Caulfield Cup after an horrific season where the best he had managed was a fourth place in the Memsie Stakes. Without a win since his Melbourne Cup victory the year before, Viewed reminded everyone of his quality by winning the 2009 Caulfield Cup by more than 2 lengths.

2008 Caulfield Cup Winner – All The Good
All The Good certainly wasn’t expected to win the 2008 Caulfield Cup. While he had a decent record overseas, he was coming into his first Australian race in the Caulfield Cup, a tactic that has rarely paid off. Neverthless, he just barely took the race ahead of Nom Du Jeu, taking the 2008 Caulfield Cup home to Ireland. Unfortunately, an injury to All The Good robbed him of his Melbourne Cup opportunity.
2005 Caulfield Cup Winner – Railings

While the 2003 Caulfield Cup winner Mummified led for most of the race, Railings put in a bold effort in the last 100 metres to rocket home ahead. This should have come as a surprise to no one, as his wins in The Metropolitan and the Colin Stephen Quality just previously suggested a strong Caulfield Cup run. What was surprising was his fourteenth place Melbourne Cup finish that year and poor performance throughout his career thereafter.
2003 Caulfield Cup Winner – Mummify

The 2003 Caulfield Cup winner Mummify had a mixed season before the race, with some placings, nowhere finishes, and a win in the Underwood Stakes. Despite this, Mummify took an early lead and held on to it throughout the race to finish just under a length ahead of Grey Song. Mummify’s Caulfield Cup run two years later was very reminiscent of his first victory, but the gelding injured himself badly and tragically had to be euthanized after that desperate performance that still earnt him a third place.
2002 Caulfield Cup Winner – Northerly
Northerly was practically fated to become the 2002 Caulfield Cup winner as he took the Craiglee Stakes, Underwood Stakes and Turnbull Stakes prior to his Caulfield Cup win. He then went on to take the Cox Plate for that season before returning early the next year to win the Australian Cup. His luck changed from there on out, but Northerly was still a force to be reckoned with in 2002 and rightly earned his Caulfield Cup win.
