Spring Horse Racing Carnival
For Australia, we like our horse racing and we thought we’d demonstrate Aussie’s largest and most renowned event, Its’ Melbourne Spring Carnival. Relax back & savour as we guide people through the greatest race within Australia, demonstrating the stars of the Turf & of course the trainers & riders at the center of this amazing industry. This is Melbourne’s finest time for punters to grab their money’s worth.
Once we eventually get beyond Derby Day & by god it is a big day, 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 Trophy & who won the first two runnings of it to boot, Aussies have been captivated. Melbournians even have a public holiday to party!
The love affair that was Makybe Diva and the Aussie residents was something to be admired. Makybe was why folks went to the track. To win 3 Melbourne Cups in progression is something which we possibly will not ever be repeated again. What about the bump Aussies got when Dermot Weld came out and took our Trophy home to Ireland in ‘93 with Vintage Crop. Or maybe when he did it again in ‘02 with Media Puzzle. What about Sheila Laxon triumphant with Ethereal, or the famous 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 winning for him in the past. Back in 2008 punters & bookies alike were praying Viewed could do it for the Cup Kings and accomplish that dull eleven a decent dozen beyond the covering and who would have though the soon to be eighty year old would actually achieve it. Well accomplished Bart, you are doubtlessly the king of the Turf.
We will also not forget the hot water Luca Cumani & second place victor Bauer landed in after it was revealed the horse obtained shockwave therapy, illegal in a period of seven days of the Melbourne Cup. The pandemonium was astounding, especially after it was revealed an RVL chosen vet conducted the therapy. Aussie punters will be racing to the local TAB and online sports betting websites to place bets.
