The Melbourne Cup is Australia’s biggest horse race and is also the highest paying Group 1 two-mile race in the world. Each year it is staged at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on the first Tuesday of November. This year’s race is only a few days away and punters from far and wide are set to place their bets on this prestigious event. The Melbourne Cup Form Guide is an invaluable tool in deciding what horses punters will choose for their bets and can also guide newcomers to picking their winner. The current favourite set to win is Americain and is currently valued at about $4.40.
Did you know that from 1900 onwards, the only father and son team to win the Melbourne Cup was Billy Cook and his son Peter who won in 1981 on Just A Dash and 1984 on Black Knight?
