How do you whittle down more than 50 strong contenders into a 24-horse field for the Melbourne Cup?
The order of entry for the race that stops the nation holds the answers.
To gain entry into the final field of contenders for Australia’s most iconic racing prize and more than $6 million in prize money, a number of criteria must be met.
In addition to the criteria we will list below, there are also four big staying races each spring that provide direct qualification for the winner.

Making a Melbourne Cup is decided on a runner’s past performances, rather than how much money an owner has or whether its slot was purchased.
To make the field for the 2022 Melbourne Cup, a horse must have passed the following criteria:
The Bart Cummings provided direct entry into the Cup for the first time in 2015 and in 2016, the eventual Melbourne Cup winner, Almandin, used its victory in the race to kickstart its Cup campaign.
In 2018, Avilius won the Bart Cummings and was soon after listed as the bookmaker’s favourite for the Melbourne Cup at $9.
