HEALTHY PLATE: Recipe for grilled steak and spring vegetable salad
If you want to add great flavor to foods without using the usual tricks — fat and salt — just head to the grill. The high and dry heat created by the grill does an excellent job at searing food surfaces and locking in natural flavors, while also adding that unmistakable charred, smoky flavor. And this all comes at no cost in terms of fat and calories. Typically, we think of the grill as the way ...

Cox Plate: The Greatest Two Minutes In Sport
The Cox Plate is run at the end of October at the Moonee Valley Racecourse each year. It is a Weight For Age Championship attracting the finest thoroughbreds in Australia. The Cox Plate is schedulled between the Melbourne Cup and Caulfield Cup and carries prize money worth $3 million dollars, the second richest in Victoria. The race is run over the unusual distance of 2040 metres.
The race is held at the Moonee Valley Racecourse, and is one of only three group one races at that venue. The Cox Plate is named after the founder of the Moonee Valley racecourse. Moonee Valley is a unique racetrack, being a tight circuit located close to Melbourne. The racetrack has the shortest straight of any major horse racing track in Australia at only 173 metres long. It is also the only racetrack in Victoria that uses a Strathayr surface
The historic race was first run in 1922. A few of the greatest names of the Australian turf to have won this race include Phar Lap, Tulloch and Flight. There have been eleven horses that have won the race more than once. Kingston Town is the only horse to have won three Cox Plates, a feat he achieved between 1980 and 1982.
While three year olds do not often start in the race, those that do have a good record. So You Think in 2009 was the last 3yo to win the race, and became the first horse to win the race as a 3 and 4yo in 2010. Savabeel in 2004 was the previous 3yo winner, and he had been the first since Octagonal in 1995. The Champion Surround remains the only 3yo filly to have won the race. One of only five females to have won the Cox plate is Surround. In total, 18 three year olds have been triumphant.
With the Cox Plate, Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup forming three of the main features of the Victorian Spring Racing Carnival, Rising Fast in 1954 remains the only horse to have won these races in the same year. He is one of only four horses to have won the Caulfield Cup/Cox Plate double with Northerly in 2002 being the last to achieve this feat. Rising Fast is also one of five horses to have won the Cox Plate/Melbourne Cup double in the same year with the most recent being Saintly in 1996 and Makybe Diva in 2005.
The last decade has seen some of our best horses taking out the championship race. Sunline and Northerly together won this race in successive years while Fields of Omagh won this race twice but three years in between wins.
Hall Of Fame trainer, Tommy Smith remains the dominant trainer with seven victories including the treble of Kingston Town. Champion jockey Darby Munro has won this race five times and is still the current record holder.
The Cox Plate is intrinsically linked with Australian Racing history. Some of the greatest performances ever seen on our racetracks have occurred in this race. Dulcify, Gunsynd, Better Loosen Up, Red Anchor, Bone Crusher and Might And Power are all winners of this race and underline the statement that the Cox Plate makes legends of the Australian turf.

Why do the women get the ''venus' plate instead of the cup ?
The women get a big gold plate [don't know the actual name of it] and the men get the big gold cup..
wondering why?
That's just what was created for the womens finals, after all they can't very well both share the cup . The name of the "plate" is the Venus rosewater Dish, which is actually a Salver... One I'd very much like to have.
