With a prize fund of $5m Australian Dollars (just over £3 million in real money) it is no surprise that this horse race brings the whole country to a standstill! It will take place for us however in the early hours of tomorrow morning so only for insomniacs and homesick Australians.
The race for the uninitiated runs from Flemington Racecourse and it is a handicap race for horses aged 3 years and over with the 24 runners hopefully covering the full distance of 2 miles on a course that has been set to soft.
Favourite for this years Melbourne Cup is the Bart Cummings trained So You Think and ridden by jockey Steven Arnold who looks they may have this race sewn up. Second favourite is Shocking ridden by Michael Rodd and trained by Mark Kavanagh who is now down to odds of 8/1. The freebetsblog.com tip for this race is the 10/1 shot Americain ridden by Gerald Mosse who should be great for an each way bet.
