At Australia, we enjoy our horse racing & we thought we’d unfold Aussie’s greatest or possibly largest acclaimed festival, The Melbourne Spring Festival. Rest back and live it up as we bring people through Victoria’s biggest race within Australia, unfolding Victoria’s stars of Aussie Turf and of course the trainers & jockeys in the lead of this mind-blowing industry. This is Australia’s finest thing for punters to acquire their money’s worth.
Once we get beyond Derby Day and by god it is an enormous race, we anticipate ourselves for the day that stops the nation, The Melbourne Cup. Ever since the commencement 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 get a bank holiday to party! This is the busiest time for online sports betting companies and website in Australia and all around the world.
The love affair which was Makybe Diva and the Aussie population was something to be admired. Makybe Diva was why people continued going to the track. To win three Melbourne Cups in progression is something that we seemingly won’t ever see again. What about the surprised Aussies got when Dermot Weld came out and took the Cup back to Ireland in ‘93 with Vintage Crop. Or when he tried it again back in ‘02 with Media Puzzle. What about Sheila Laxon conquering with Ethereal, or maybe the famous Might And Power and Doriemus photo finish. The rain came down back in ‘74 & 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 victor a lazy eleven times. With horses such as Light Fingers, Galilee, Think Big (twice), Hyperno, Let’s Elope and Saintly winning for him in the past. Back in 2008 punters & bookies alike were hoping Viewed could do it for the Cup Kings and accomplish that weary 11 a decent dozen over the covering & who would have though the soon to be eighty year old would really complete it. Well completed Bart, you are actually the king of the Turf.
We will also not forget the hot water Luca Cumani and second spot victor Bauer landed in after it was revealed the horse accepted shockwave treatment, against regulations within 7 days of the Melbourne Cup. The disorder was phenomenal, especially after it was found an RVL elected veterinarian overseen the treatment.
