Ten of the Caulfield Cup's greatest champions of modern times met on equal terms in today's Virtual Caulfield Cup. Carrying his cup winning weight of 52.5 kilograms and perfectly ridden by Jim Cassidy, Might & Power defeated 1991 titleholder Let's Elope by 2.4 lengths with last year's Carlton Draught Caulfield Cup winner Elvstroem a further 1.8 lengths away in third place. Mummify and Northerly were fourth and fifth respectively.

While the winning margin was less than the phenomenal 7 lengths by which Might and Power won the 1997 Caulfield Cup, the victory over a field of nine other modern greats confirmed the mighty stayer's indisputable class. On a good track under blue skies at Classic Caulfield, Might and Power posted the respectable time of 2:27.30. Leading rails bookmaker Alan Eskander had Might and Power starting theoretical favourite at $3.50, with Let's Elope at $4.50 and Elvstroem at $8.00.
