Cox Plate 2025 barrier draw and final field
SEN • October 20th, 2025 1:31 pm
The Cox Plate for 2025 is likely to have a smaller than normal field which will be finalised at 9am on Tuesday October 21 followed by the barrier draw.
In a change from the norm, the barrier draw sees a horse name pulled out and the connections choose their barrier.
Via Sistina - one of three Chris Waller horses in this year's race - is looking to go back-to-back at the Valley in the 2040m Group 1, and is currently the short-priced favourite (with Sportsbet).
Waller's other two are Aeliana and Buckaroo and will be ridden by Hugh Bowman and Ben melham respectively.
