The 2023 Melbourne Cup field was locked in following the barrier draw on Saturday, with the race set to get underway at 3pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, November 7 at the Flemington Racecourse.

The field came down to 23 after Cleveland was withdrawn with an elevated temperature, while the Damien Oliver-ridden Alenquer was in doubt with a stone bruise but recovered in time to race.

They will traverse a distance of 3,200 metres for Australia’s most coveted racing trophy.
