What a Race

This is without a doubt the best race of the entire Spring Carnival! Black Caviar betting to beat Hay List betting to beat Star Witness and forget the rest at huge odds. Who will win? The odds suggest Black Caviar, but as sturgeon spawning season is finished not likely. I was a Star Witness to the best horse in the world getting beaten in the Melbourne Cup,  so I think he is not for this race! Hay List is unbelievable and betting will be fierce with a minute to go, but you should secure 3-1. Let’s all make hay while the sun shines! What a betting race!

Our Pick

The Victoria Derby is regarded as Australia’s premier staying event for 3-year-olds. It is the feature event on what is the first day of the Flemington Carnival. My selection to win the Melbourne Cup this year, won this race last year, Monaco Consul.

The race has a very prestigious history dating back to 1855, and was upgraded to Group 1 status in 1979 and it is Australia’s oldest classic. The race has been dominated by males and the odds see Rekindled Interest betting 3-1, Retrieve at 4-1 and Kudakulari at 23-1.

Damien Oliver is the current leading jockey with 3 wins. With the form that both Cummings and Oliver have so far this Spring Carnival, you’d be mad to discount them in this year’s race.

Betting will be open this year, but I would expect to see the odds of Lion Tamer shorten quite a lot before the jump from 12-1 so perhaps that is the pick to beat the favorite this year. What ever the out come perhaps you could back all of them for next years Melbourne Cup now at big odds?

So you think it's her turn to win again?

Gai Waterhouse has won this race every second year since 2004 so guess what? It’s her turn again but there is a problem, or So You’d Think?  Descarado won the Caulfield Cup at big odds and was left alone in betting. So you think you have got the winner of this one? Are you sure? Betting short odds won’t send you broke if they keep winning, so you think it is easy to pick the winner? Ginga Dude at odds of 15-1 for all the Julia Roberts fans. Descarado is betting 15-1 for betfair punters. And what about Faint Perfume at odds of 40-1 for those at home with a TV pointed towards the bathroom? So you think you can pick which one will win?

Perhaps Small to Medium Wind Squall Tracy?

Can Typhoon Tracy go back to back? She won last year and her odds this year are much shorter at 2-1. A great betting race, I think perhaps the race of the card with Sacred Choice at juicy odds 17-1 and Hot Danish at 8-1. Now how could you back a horse that got smashed last start like Hot Danish? Everyone always jumps off champions to soon. Remember the time you jumped off the roller coaster because you were feeling sick, but looking back it was the best ride of your life? Well apply that thinking to your selections in this race and choose champions that made your wallet feel off color last start and bet big odds! Forget Typhoon Tracy (Small to medium wind squall Tracy) and bet Hot Danish all the way with Yosei and Sacred Choice for the quinella.

How they train them at Coolmore Stud?

Who will make Headway in betting and be know throughout betting land as the Weekend Hussler? Of course both those horses have won this race, and the best sprinter ever Alinghi has also won. This year’s field sees Star Witness as favorite at odds of 3-1. Soul and Solar Charged are in betting at around 7-1. Forget the rest, just try and get the house on Star Witness, but always bet responsibly so if you can’t pick up the hourse perhaps a little less on the bet at good odds of 3-1.
