Sydney Cup Champion Winners: The Barb (1868 & '69), Carbine (1889 & '90), Wakeful (1902), Galilee (1967), Kingston Town (1980), Tie The Knot (1998 & '99), Makybe Diva (2004)
Best lead-up form: Chairmans Hcp (Randwick, 2600m).
Time: Track record for the Randwick 3200m is 3:19.00
Sydney Cup-Melbourne Cup Double calendar year: Makybe Diva (2004), Carbine (1890).
The Track: Randwick is a large course with four sweeping turns. Generally fair, but tends to favour the on pace runners when the ground is rain affected. Possible to by win swooping out wide.
Track Bias, Barriers: The 3200m start begins from the same position as the 1000m. Long straight before the turn heading into the straight for the first time. The only race run at this track over this distance so stats are limited, inside barriers appear to have an advantage.
Rail Position: This is a wide course that enables runners to finish on down the inside or outside of the straight. As this the third consecutive Saturday meeting at this track, the rail position for Sydney Cup Day will be out, there may be a slight advantage to leaders in the short and middle distance races but it should be possible to finish on in longer events like the Cup.
Weight & Statistics: under handicap conditions over two miles, it takes an exceptional horse to carry a top weight to win. Makybe Diva carried 56.5kgs in 2004 and Tie The Knot carried 57kgs to win his second Sydney Cup in 1999. The average weight carried by winners in recent years is 54kgs, lighter weighted horses who are drawn well have an advantage.
