VIC · Thoroughbred Racing

Every recent meeting below links through to the full card, finishing order, official margins, starting prices and exotic dividends, so you can trace exactly how the form was established.
Mornington is not racing today, see today's results for all current meetings.
The track's signature event is the Mornington Cup, an autumn staying feature that has launched more than one Melbourne Cup campaign. Provincial and midweek meetings here often produce horses that graduate to Saturday class at Caulfield and Flemington, so smart form students treat Mornington results as an early-warning system for emerging Victorian form lines.
Full Mornington track guideThe Mornington Cup is run in March during the Melbourne autumn carnival. As a staying test it has a long history as a Melbourne Cup lead-up, with winners often targeted at handicap races in the spring.
Mornington's tight, turning circuit and uphill home straight generally suit horses racing on or near the pace. Backmarkers need to be making ground early to have a chance by the time the field straightens.
Mornington Racecourse is owned and operated by the Melbourne Racing Club, the same club that runs Caulfield, and sits about an hour's drive south of the Melbourne CBD on the Mornington Peninsula.
