The 1909 Melbourne Cup was a two-mile handicap horse race which took place on Tuesday, 2 November 1909.
The race was won by Prince Foote, considered one of the greatest colts in Australian racing history. He achieved a 'clean sweep' of three-year old classics in 1909–10: VRC St Leger, AJC St Leger and VRC Champion Stakes, as well as the 1909 Melbourne Cup. Prince Foote started the 4/1 equal favourite with Sydney Cup winner Trafalgar. He won and defeated 1908 VRC Derby winner Alawa, ridden by Bobby Lewis by three lengths. At 100/1 odds Aberdeen ran third and Trafalgar finished fourth. A silver centerpiece was awarded to the owners of Prince Foote, which was ridden by Bill 'Midge' McLachlan, the great-grandfather of future five-time Melbourne Cup winning trainer Lee Freedman.
This is the list of placegetters for the 1909 Melbourne Cup.
