ANTHONY Van Dyck will carry top-weight into the 2020 Caulfield Cup, as Aidan O’Brien plots a path to the Melbourne Cup with his Classic winner.

This Group 1 handicap was first held at Caulfield racecourse in the 1870s, and a prize pot of over €3 million makes the Caulfield Cup the richest 12-furlong handicap in the sport and betting on the Caulfield Cup has made it one of Australia’s most lucrative races.
