It’s the race that stops the nation and it has crept up on us quickly this year! No event in Australia is analysed as thoroughly as the Melbourne Cup and with more bets placed on this one race than on any other national sporting event, getting your facts straight is especially important.
This article will attempt to give you a basic understanding of what it takes to win the Melbourne Cup and what you should be keeping your eye on. Of course, last year showed that anything can happen – so let’s break it down and make it as easy as possible for you to lay your bets.
Taking into account all of the key statistics above, Bondi Beach ($11.00, William Hill) and Exospheric ($21.00, Sportsbet) tick off the most boxes. Both are stallions between the age of four and five. The barriers have not been drawn yet, but that is the last factor to be taken into account.
Looking at the favourites, Hartnell ($4.40, William Hill) is a little older, but not to the extent where it’s really an issue and geldings have a decent enough track record in these races. Jameka ($6.50, Bookmaker) is a four-year-old mare who recently won the Caulfield Cup. Almandin ($13.00, Sportsbet) is a seven-year-old gelding who is being heralded as a big chance of winning the Cup. He sits out of the statistical range for Cup winners, but experts say he’s running at his peak.
The Melbourne Cup is as unpredictable as any sporting event in the country and declaring that one horse is going to take it all would be folly so we recommend having a look at all of the horses above and placing your money accordingly. However, Bondi Beach ($11.00, William Hill) seems to be the best value of the bunch.
