The W.S. Cox Plate is a Group 1thoroughbred horse race held annually in late October by the Moonee Valley Racing Club in honour of W.S. Cox, the club's founder. The race, for three-year-olds and over, is considered to be the Weight for Age championship of Australasia. It is run over 2040 metres (2231 yards) on turf, and carries Australia's richest weight-for-age prize, which in 2006 was AU$3 million.
