World richest turf race

This race is scheduled like a week before the prestigious Grade 1 WFA Cox Plate and less than 3 weeks before the race that stops the nation, the Melbourne Cup. Even small owner's will rather target those races because of the privelege to run in them and win it and the prize money is also huge. Also I doubt this race will have any bearing for your runner to qualify or increase the rating for the Melbourne Cup unless their Racing authority grant it some status.

I thought the race was over 1200m? Melbourne Cup 3200m?
