The Geelong Cup is a Geelong Racing Club Group 3 Thoroughbred horse race, held under handicap conditions over a distance of 2400 metres at the Geelong Racecourse, Geelong, Victoria, Australia on a Wednesday in late October.[1] The prize money for the race is A$500,000,[2] and the race is considered one of the most reliable guides to the result of the Melbourne Cup.[3]

History

The race is run thirteen days before the Melbourne Cup (which is always on the first Tuesday in November). The race has been run on this day since 1947.[4] The day of the race is a public holiday in the city of Geelong.[5] Before 1907 the race was run at the Marshalltown Racecourse.[6] Before 1947 the race was run at various times during the year between January and July.
