Vow and Declare

Vow And Declare (foaled 17 October 2015) is an Australian bred thoroughbred racehorse that was the winner of the 2019 Melbourne Cup.

Declaration of War sired the horse whilst performing shuttle stallion duties for Coolmore Stud in Australia.

[2] Lanskey named the horse after his father's habit of coming home from the pub and saying "I vow and declare I've only had a few beers".

At his next start, Vow And Declare was successful over 1800 metres at Flemington in the Listed TCL TV Stakes when ridden by Damien Oliver.

[6] Two weeks later the horse won the Tattersall's Cup over 3000 metres at Eagle Farm Racecourse as a 2/1 favourite when ridden by Glen Boss.
