Racing Victoria Executive General Manager – Racing Greg Carpenter announced the penalty today following her superb win over 2400m on Saturday.

He said, "Saturday's Caulfield Cup was an outstanding edition of the 2400m handicap and it was fought out by two world class horses with Verry Elleegant strong on the line and safely holding Epsom Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck.

"Verry Elleegant carried the second highest weight for a winning mare in Caulfield Cup history behind Tranquil Star's 56kg in 1942 and her hard-fought victory was her sixth Group 1 race to underline her elite standing.

NEWS: RV Executive General Manager – Racing, Greg Carpenter (@RVCarps), has today announced that he has issued a weight penalty to Verry Elleegant in the $8 million @Lexus #MelbourneCup (3200m) at @FlemingtonVRC on 3 November.
