Spring Horse Racing Carnival

For Australia, we love our horse racing and we thought we’d showcase Aussie’s greatest or perhaps most renowned carnival, Its’ Melbourne Spring Carnival. Rest back & live it up as we lead people through the greatest race around Australia, disclosing Aussie stars of the Turf & of course the trainers and jockeys in the forefront of this great industry. This is Melbourne’s best thing for punters to acquire their money’s worth.

Once we eventually get beyond Derby Day & by god it’s a big event, we hype ourselves for the day that stops a nation, The Melbourne Cup. Ever since the commencement of the race, the stories of Archer being paraded down from Sydney to contest the Trophy & who won the first two runnings of it to boot, Aussies have been engaged. Melbournians even have a public holiday to celebrate!

The love experience which was Makybe Diva & the Aussie public was something to be admired. She was why people continued going to the track. To win three Melbourne Cups in progression is something else that we presumably will not ever be repeated again. What about the daze Australians got when Dermot Weld came out and took the Trophy home to Ireland in ‘93 with Vintage Crop. Or conceivably when he did it again in ‘02 with Media Puzzle. What about Sheila Laxon conquering with Ethereal, or perhaps the memorable Might And Power & Doriemus photo finish. The rain poured down in ‘74 & Van Der Hum took it home.

And then there was Bart. JB Cummings. The Cups King. The man who has trained the Melbourne Cup hero a lazy eleven times. With horses such as Light Fingers, Galilee, Think Big (twice), Hyperno, Let’s Elope and Saintly successing for him in the past. Back in 2008 punters & bookies alike were expecting Viewed could do it for the Cup Kings & accomplish that apathetic eleven a decent dozen beyond the covering and who would have though the soon to be eighty year old would truly achieve it. Well finished Bart, you are honourably 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, illegal within seven days of the Melbourne Cup. The pandemonium was exceptional, especially after it was discovered an RVL appointed vet administered the treatment. Aussie punters will be racing to the local TAB and online sports betting websites to place bets.
