The 1867 Melbourne Cup was a two-mile handicap horse race which took place on Thursday, 31 October 1867.

'Sydney Tim' won the AJC Derby on route to a 2 length win as 5/2 favourite.

'Melbourne Tim' ran fifth while Exile the previous year's runner up finished third.

The Tim Whiffler's who ran in this race are not to be confused with Tim Whiffler son of 'Sydeny Tim' who won the Great Northern Derby in New Zealand in 1881 nor an English sire also named Tim Whiffler who was brought to Australia and sired future cup winners Briseis and Darriwell.
