Spring Horse Racing Carnival
At Australia, we love our horse racing & we figured we’d showcase Aussie’s biggest or possibly most famous carnival, The Melbourne Spring Carnival. Sit back and savour as we bring you through Melbourne’s biggest race in Australia, showcasing Victoria’s stars of Melbourne’s Turf and of course the trainers with riders at the cutting edge of this amazing industry. This is Melbourne’s very best moment for punters to grab their money’s worth.
Once we finally get over Derby Day and by god it’s a huge race, we anticipate ourselves for the day that stops a nation, The Melbourne Cup. Ever since the origin of the race, the stories of Archer being paraded down from Sydney to contest the Cup & who won the first two runnings of it to boot, Aussies have been engrossed. Victorians even have a bank holiday to party!
The love affair which was Makybe Diva & the Australian population was something to be admired. Makybe was why punters continued going to the track. To win three Melbourne Cups in progression is something that we presumably won’t ever be repeated again. What about the surprised Aussies got when Dermot Weld came out & took the Trophy back to Ireland in ‘93 with Vintage Crop. Or maybe when he did it again in ‘02 with Media Puzzle. What about Sheila Laxon conquering with Ethereal, or maybe the likeable Might & Power and Doriemus photo ending. The rain came down back in ‘74 & Van Der Hum brought it home.
And then maybe there was Bart. JB Cummings. The Cups King. The man who has trained the Melbourne Cup victor a lazy eleven times. With horses such as Light Fingers, Galilee, Think Big (twice), Hyperno, Let’s Elope and Saintly conquering for him in the past. Back in 2008 punters & bookies alike were hoping Viewed could do it for the Cup Kings and accomplish that apathetic 11 a decent dozen beyond the covering & who would have though the soon to be 80 year old would truly do it. Well accomplished Bart, you are absolutely the king of the Turf. This is the busiest time for online sports betting companies and website in Australia and all around the world.
We will also not forget the hot water Luca Cumani & second place victor Bauer landed in after it was uncovered the horse acquired shockwave therapeutics, forbidden in a period of 7 days of the Melbourne Cup. The pandemonium was extraordinary, particularly after it was found an RVL appointed vet guided the treatment.
