The ‘race that stops a nation’, the Melbourne Cup, is set for Tuesday, November 1 at Flemington racecourse in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and just one horse is offered at single-digit odds as of Saturday morning. Great Voltigeur Stakes (G2) winner DEAUVILLE LEGEND (Ire) (Sea the Stars (Ire) is a strong favourite in the 24-horse field that will travel 3,200 metres in the famous race.
GOLD TRIP was second in the Caulfield Cup and is being well bet early while WITHOUT A FIGHT drew post 18, which has not produced a Cup winner. Longshot SERPENTINE, winner of the 2020 Epsom Derby (G1) and now a gelding, and a five pack of starters from the training team of Ciaron Maher and David Eustace are also in the field.
This is the 162 running of the Melbourne Cup which is offered on www.HPIBET.com.
