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.
