The Caulfield Cup field is determined by a balloting system. The balloting system takes into account considerations such as how much money a horse has won in the past two years and their allocated weights. Horses can also attempt to beat the ballot by winning one of the races that grant them automatic entry into the Caulfield Cup. Races such as the Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes and the Listed Mornington Cup allow the winner to be guaranteed a Caulfield Cup start.

Horses that perform well in the Caulfield Cup often go on to compete in races such as the Cox Plate, Victoria Derby and Melbourne Cup later in the spring carnival.
