At Australia, we like our horse racing and we figured we’d unfold Aussie’s largest and most acclaimed event, Its’ Melbourne Spring Carnival. Rest back and have fun as we guide people through Victoria’s biggest race within Australia, uncovering Aussie stars of the Turf and of course the trainers & riders at the cutting edge of this incredible industry. This is the finest time for punters to grab their money’s worth.

Once we get over Derby Day and by god it’s an enormous day, we prepare ourselves for the day that stops the nation, The Melbourne Cup. Ever since the commencement of the race, the stories of Archer being paced down from Sydney to contest the Cup and who won the first two runnings of it to boot, Australians have been engrossed. Victorians even have a public holiday to party!

The love experience which was Makybe Diva and the Australian residents was something to be admired. She was why punters continued going to the track. To win three Melbourne Cups in succession is something which we perhaps will not ever happen again. What about the bump Aussies got when Dermot Weld came away and took our Cup back to Ireland in ‘93 with Vintage Crop. Or perhaps when he tried it again in ‘02 with Media Puzzle. What about Sheila Laxon conquering with Ethereal, or the famous Might & Power & Doriemus photo finish. The rain came down back in ‘74 and Van Der Hum swam home.

And then maybe there was Bart. JB Cummings. The Cup’s King. The man who has trained the Melbourne Cup winner a lazy eleven times. With horses such as Light Fingers, Galilee, Think Big (twice), Hyperno, Let’s Elope and Saintly triumphanting for him in the past. Back in 2008 punters & bookies alike were praying Viewed could do it for the Cup Kings & make that lazy eleven a decent dozen across the curtain & who would have though the soon to be 80 year old would actually complete it. Well executed Bart, you are doubtlessly the king of the Turf. Aussie punters will be racing to the local TAB and online sports betting websites to place bets.

We will additionally not forget the hot water Luca Cumani & 2nd place victor Bauer landed in after it was apparent the horse accepted shockwave treatment, forbidden in a period of seven days of the Melbourne Cup. The uproar was remarkable, particularly after it was discovered an RVL selected veterinarian guided the treatment.
