This year's carnival promises to be one of high quality as usual. There are lots of hotly debated questions amongst punters at the moment. These include; Will Bart be able to win his 13th Melbourne cup? Could Alcopop the unknown South Australian be the fairytale race story? And whilst the overseas contingent does not look as strong as previous years, the Cup is still a truly worldwide event.
Day 1 will kick start this showcase with an unprecedented 4 Group 1 events, 2 Group 2 and 4 Group 3 races.
The Derby and Oaks markets are headlined by two up and coming superstars of Australian racing; Shamoline Warrior in the Derby and Run For Narra in the Oaks.
The showcase of the carnival, The Melbourne Cup, is the second richest race in the world now worth $5,650,000. As a result the best trainers throughout the world try to ensure they have horses ready and worthy for this event.
