Did you know?
That Mudgee (rural NSW) has its own version of the Cox plate?

The Mudgee "GC Cox Plate" is for class 3 horses and is over 2000 metres (40m shorter than WS Cox Plate).

The winners of the Mudgee race will be presented with a trophy that looks similar to the famous Group 1 race at Mooney Valley, but alas the winner will take home about $3 million LESS in prize money.

An article in the Mudgee Guardian has all the details.
