  • Might as well get a 2024 Melbourne Cup thread up and going. This thread can be for all discussions relating to the Cup. Sevenna's Knight won a Group 3 3000m race in France last night by about 8 lengths, I watched it. Currently paying $51 for the Me…
  • Just Fine wins The Bart Cummings and earns a free ticket into the Melbourne Cup. Bart Cummings/Melbourne Cup Double 2016: Almandin 2000: Brew 1970: Baghdad Note
  • The 2024 Melbourne Cup will be the first since 2008 (and the fourth since 1979) guaranteed to have a completely new set of placegetters. No previous placegetter remains in the entries. It will be the first since 2002 guaranteed to have a completely…

  • Asfoora had every chance to run on and win and didn't...she wasn't good enough. Simple as that. It's been a big campaign for her. She ran 4th in Nunthorpe Stakes (G1). 4 starts outside Aust for 1 win, 1 2nd and two 4ths. Good effort.
  • https://amp.abc.net.au/article/104240260 Also apparently her foal passing away. Any truth to this? But yeah Black Caviar = Absolute Champion.
  • Update SEVENNA'S KNIGHT apprentpy pretty much confirmed not coming after being lapped last start. Ozzie Kheir supposedly circling BIRDMAN as a potential purchase to bring out for the Cup. NH 3yo on the rise a proven type out here and he looked rea…
  • Aidan O’Brien suggests Tower Of London and Grosvenor Square could both be Melbourne Cup-bound. The Curragh Cup was won by Vintage Crop (1993), Rekindling (2017) and Twilight Payment (2020) the same year as their Melbourne Cup victories. Vintage Cro…
  • Sevenna's Knight ran in the G1 Grand Prix De Saint Cloud in France (2400m), ran 2nd last. That probably puts to bed any chance of running in the Arc - not good enough. We wait and see if the Melbourne Cup is now on the cards.
  • Nice win by the Aussie sprinter Asfoora in the G1 King Charles III Stakes (1005m).
  • Have to wait and see
  • The Grey Wizard has win a free ticket into the Melbourne Cup. https://www.horseracingnation.com/news/Saratoga_The_Grey_Wizard_wins_by_head_in_Belmont_Gold_Cup_123
  • Trust Pakistan to lose to a minnow team in an ICC tournament. Pakistan = mixed bag. You just never know what you're going to get on the day. Losing to the USA, Horrendous

  • Add barely a moment to that lot Was it a WA horse? Did it race in WA??
  • The Australian Asfoora ran 4th in the Group 2 Betfred Temple Stakes (1005m) at Haydock in Europe a short time ago. Started favourite too.

  • Big big upset win in the G1 Victoria Mile in Japan.
  • Link doesn't work but you are correct Sevanna's Knight - $41 with Sportsbet. The duplicated one has gone. Also, WA TAB had Sevenna's Knight at $1.01....must of been an error....a system error. Anyway its been fixed but now Sevenna's Knight isn'…
  • Great finish in 150th Kentucky Derby.
  • How do I post screen shots on here? Cos Sevenna's Knight is actually listed twice on Sportsbet for Melbourne Cup markets . At $15 and at $41. Not sure what's going on at Sportsbet.
  • $51 on Bet365. It wasn't even listed on sportsbet so I told them, they just sent me an email and they have included Sevenna's Knight in the Cup market and have priced him at $41. On WA TAB he has been priced at $34.
  • Past winners of the Prix de Barbeville who have come to Australia include Marmelo and Dunaden. Sevenna's Knight....might head to Australia.

  • Please tell me I'm wrong everyone, but I just get the feeling WA racing has fallen down a few levels over the last few years. Apart from Amelia's Jewel....who else is there? Who else can go over east and compete in the highest level of racing in Aus…
