The Carlyon Cup is a more than handy race that generally attracts above average horses and has been won over the years by some nice types over the years, including Apache Cat (2007), Northerly (2001), Veeandercross (1993) and Super Impose in 1989.
The race takes place on Blue Diamond Stakes day, which is Caulfield's biggest day of racing in the autumn, and horses tackling this race may continue on to a race like the Gr2 Blamey Stakes (1600m SW+P) at Flemington in three weeks time, as it run under similar race conditions.
Rightfully Yours (2010) won this race first-up from a spell and recent winners of the Carlyon Cup have been Time Matters (2009) and Publsihing (2008).

2010 Carlyon Cup: Rightfully Yours jumped out and sat on the pace behind the race leader (Danzylum) and made his move in the straight to run to the lead inside the 200m and defied a strong challenge from Road To Rock over the last 150m to run out a strong winner.
Road To Rock (second) was back worse than midfield turning for home and made a race of it first-up, before he died on his run in the last 50m, while Delayedreaction ran an honest race to claim third.
