Melbourne Cup Betting

The Melbourne Cup day is fixed for the first Tuesday in November, and this great Race is held in a Melbourne suburb called Flemington, which was named after a Butcher that once lived there.

The Melbourne Cup is known as one of the world’s greatest races and its History dates back to 1871, when the first ever Melbourne Cup Race was held. The Prize for winning this great race at the time was not a Cup at all but a hand beaten Gold Watch, 17 Horses started the race and the winning horse was called Archer, and he had walked 500 miles from his stable in Nowra, New South Wales, before running in this race.

Australia is a nation that likes its leisure activities and you can be sure that one 2 mile long race every year (The Melbourne Cup) will bring Australia to a standstill. In 2005 this already famous race became even bigger ‘if that was possible’ when Makybe Diva became the only three time winner of the race, this great mare had already set the record for winning the Melbourne Cup twice and she made History also by winning it a third time.
