T.S. Carlyon Cup
Group Three Betting Guide
| Date: | Saturday, February 8, 2025 |
| Location: | Caulfield Racecourse – Melbourne, Victoria |
| Prize Money: | $200,000 |
| Distance: | 1600m |
The T.S. Carlyon Cup is a Group 3 race for milers, conducted by the Melbourne Racing Club at Caulfield Racecourse.
First run in 1977 and won by Ngawyni, the TS Carlyon Cup is held over 1600m under set weights and penalties conditions. In 2025, The TS Carlyon Cup is offering a purse of $200,000.
Initially a Principal race until 1979, The TS Carlyon Cup was elevated to Group 2 status until 2002 before being downgraded to Group 3 from 2003 onwards.
The T.S. Carlyon Cup distance has varied over the years, ranging from 1400m to 2000m. Once an important lead-up to the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m), it has since shifted in prominence.
Notable winners include Hyperno (1978), Super Impose (1989), Northerly (2001), Apache Cat (2007), and Avilius (2019), with several of these Carlyon Cup winners achieving Group 1 success later in their campaigns.
The 2024 TS Carlyon Cup was claimed by Yonce, who triumphed over Foxy Cleopatra and Young Werther.

How to bet on the T.S. Carlyon Cup
Australian horse racing bookmakers will have betting on the T.S Carlyon Cup available. Many of them will open an early market so you can wager on the race a week or so in advance.
Unlike many of the bigger races the acceptances are only done a few days before the race so you won’t find a futures market weeks in advance, like major group 1s like the Melbourne Cup and Cox Plate.
Aussie bookies like Picklebet offer all of the usual bet types on the race and you will have the option of using ‘boosted odds’ at some of them.
This simply means you place your win bet and use the boosted odds option, which could send a $10 shot out to $15. This provides great value and is as good a reason as any to bet online.

Recent runnings of the T.S. Carlyon Cup:
-
Yonce ($3.30) held off all challengers in the (1600m) Group 3 Carlyon Cup at Caulfield. The lightly raced six-year-old mare was third-up in a campaign after suffering a lengthy setback and had only recently returned from the paddock after 626 days off the scene. Two moderate performances at this course at Listed level were both clearly short of her best journey, with the 1100m and 1400m proving too sharp for the daughter of Proisir. That simply wasn’t the case in Group 3 company, as Yonce was able to recapture the form that allowed her to storm to victory on six consecutive occasions in her last preparation. John Allen utilised her early speed to cross to the lead from gate five and was able to steal a few cheap sectionals, staving off her rivals all the way to the wire.
-
Pounding delivered a dominant performance to claim victory in the 2023 T.S. Carlyon Cup (Gr 3, 1600m) at Sandown. Settling midfield early under Jamie Kah, the Peter Moody-trained gelding unleashed a powerful turn of foot in the straight to defeat a quality field, showcasing his versatility and class.
-
In his Australian debut, Earlswood clinched victory in the 2022 T.S. Carlyon Cup (1600m) at Caulfield. Guided by jockey Damian Lane, Earlswood settled midfield before launching a decisive move in the straight, overtaking the well-fancied Callsign Mav near the post to win by a short head. Spanish Mission finished strongly to secure third place, just a half-neck behind.
