Acrasia (foaled 1897)[1] was an Australian racehorse that won the 1904 Melbourne Cup.

Racing career

Bred and owned by bookmaker Humphrey Oxenham, Acrasia finished fourth in the 1902 Melbourne Cup.[1]

She was ridden by jockey Tom Clayton and carried 7 st. 6 lbs. (47.17 kg) to win the 1904 Melbourne Cup as a seven-year-old at odds of 14/1.[2] She was the only filly or mare in the field. In doing so she became the third mare to win in the first 44 runnings of the race.[3]

In Spring carnival leading up to the Cup, she had finished second in the Spring Cup at Sandown Park and also in the Coongy Handicap and Caulfield Cup.[1]

Her owner, Humphrey Oxenham, was a bookmaker who, while playing poker, staked her and lost ownership to John Mayo. He bought her back the following day and owned her at the time of her win.[2]
