Spring Horse Racing Carnival
At Australia, we appreciate our horse racing & we thought we’d uncover Australia’s largest or possibly most fashionable event, Its’ Melbourne Spring Carnival. Rest back & have fun as we bring people through Australia’s biggest race around Australia, revealing Aussie stars of Aussie Turf & of course the breeders and jockeys in the cutting edge of this wonderful industry. This is the best thing for punters to grab their money’s worth.
Once we get beyond Derby Day and by god it is a huge race, we prepare ourselves for the day that stops the nation, The Melbourne Cup. Ever since the origin of the race, the stories of Archer being paced down from Sydney to challenge the Trophy & who won the first two runnings of it to boot, Aussies have been engrossed. Victorian’s even get a bank holiday to celebrate!
The love experience that was Makybe Diva and the Australian residents was something to be admired. Makybe Diva was why individuals continued to go to the track. To win three Melbourne Cups in progression is something else which we arguably won’t ever happen again. What about the daze Aussies got when Dermot Weld came out and took our Trophy home to Ireland back in ‘93 with Vintage Crop. Or feasibly when he did it again back in ‘02 with Media Puzzle. What about Sheila Laxon winning with Ethereal, or the well known Might And Power & Doriemus photo ending. The rain poured down back in ‘74 and Van Der Hum swam home.
And then maybe there was Bart. JB Cummings. The Cup’s King. The man who has trained the Melbourne Cup champion 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 praying Viewed could do it for the Cup Kings and accomplish that lazy 11 a decent dozen across the mantle and who would have though the soon to be eighty year old would truly complete it. Well completed Bart, you are actually the king of the Turf.
We will additionally not forget the hot water Luca Cumani & 2nd spot winner Bauer landed in after it was made public the horse accepted shockwave therapy, forbidden in a period of seven days of the Melbourne Cup. The uproar was astounding, especially after it was found an RVL elected veterinarian supervised the therapeutics. Aussie punters will be racing to the local TAB and online sports betting websites to place bets.
