The 1931 Caulfield Cup, an 18ct. gold two-handled trophy cup by T. Gaunt & Co., Melbourne, the bowl inscribed CAULFIELD CUP, 1931, WON BY, DENIS BOY, OWNER R. WALLACE TRAINER F. McGRATH, JOCKEY A. KNOX, height 31cm., 12 1/4in., width across the handles 22cm., 8 3/4in., 760gr., set on an octagonal polished hardwood plinth providing an overall height 40cm., 15 3/4in. The Caulfield Cup has been held annually in October since 1879 and is traditionally run on the third and final day of the Melbourne Spring Festival. Run at Caulfield Racecourse, today it is the richest mile-and-a-half (2,400m) handicap on turf in the world, with this year's race boasting prize money of 3 million Australian Dollars (approx. £1.4 million). It is only eclipsed in importance in Australia by the Melbourne Cup, with the two races combining to form a major Cup Double betting market with the bookmakers. The 1931 running was won by Denis Boy, a five-year-old bay horse, owned by Mr R. Wallace trained by Prank McGrath and Ridden by A. Knox. For the trainer it was his second successive win in the race with Amounis. Lightly weighted (6st. 10lb.) and demonstrating superior stamina Denis Boy defeated highly regarded horses in Vigne, Dark Man & Shadow King very easily. Prince Dayton was second and First Acre third. Denis boy was foaled in 1927 by Soldennis, winner of 25 races notably the Irish 2,000 Guineas, out of the dam Blink Girl. The colt's other major career wins were in the Cantala Stakes (now the Emirates Stakes) at Flemington which we won in 1931 and again in 1932; and the Metropolitan Stakes at Randwick in 1932.
