Melbourne Cup Odds: Williams Picks Cavalryman
October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe’re getting close enough now to the 2014 Melbourne Cup for most people you meet to be ready to give you their tips and predictions, and whilst you’re much more likely to put most of those generous tips out of your mind when you’re looking over those Racing odds for The Race That Stops A Nation, the wisdom of some pundits is always going to carry more weight than others. And there’s always the inside track from the folks who are going to be closest to the race itself – or even riding in it, like Craig Williams, who is tipping his ride Cavalryman to have a big say in the Cup…
Speaking to the press after a first hit-out on board the veteran English stayer, Williams was Read the rest of this entry »

October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfGai Waterhouse might not have a horse in the 2014 Melbourne Cup on November 4th, but she’s got a busy day ahead this weekend when VRC Derby Day comes around – a little glance over the Racing odds for the VRC Derby itself will show you that it’s her Hampton Court who’s the short-priced favourite to win it, and to claim a little bit of silverware that will no doubt soften the disappointment of The Offer’s withdrawal from The Race That Stops A Nation.
At odds of just $2.70, Hampton Court is Read the rest of this entry »

October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfClassy kiwi mare Silent Achiever won’t feature in the 2014 edition of the Melbourne Cup, and you won’t see her name in the Racing odds at the end of that link: trainer Roger James this week ruled her out of a bid for the big race.
It sounds like it was a tough decision to make, and it will be a tough pill to swallow both for Silent Achiever’s connections and for James himself – not to mention all the punters who had their eye on Silent Achiever – but we get the impression from James’ statement to the press that Read the rest of this entry »

October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfBart Cummings seems to us like a man who knows how to win a Melbourne Cup. When you’ve done something 12 times already, a pattern is going to start emerging, and it looks like Cummings will be looking to repeat the pattern with Precedence before the 2014 Melbourne Cup. His prospect has a decent $67.00 beside his name in the Racing odds on Sportsbet as of today for the big race, but with a well-worn path to success to follow, it could be that that represents value.
That path would take Precedence to Read the rest of this entry »

October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt’s not as if VRC Derby Day needed any spicing up to be one of the genuine highlights of the Melbourne Spring calendar, but that’s exactly what punters are going to get this year – the extra spice of a confrontation between two cracking three-year-olds who are renewing their rivalry on the track and in the Racing odds this week ahead of the Coolmore Stud Stakes.
The two horses in question are Rubik and Earthquake, and there are few more eye-catching three-year-olds around, that’s for sure. They have met before, and it was Read the rest of this entry »

October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfLloyd Williams was happy to confirm this week that Fawkner, his big Melbourne Cup hope, is in good condition, and will certainly be contesting the 2014 Race That Stops A Nation – and featuring strongly in the Racing odds, too, we’re sure – barring any unforeseen circumstances between now and race day on November 4th.
Fawkner is no stranger to Read the rest of this entry »

October 29th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThe betting is hotting up for today’s Bendigo Cup, and we’ve got all the Racing odds you need if you just click the link there! This is a race that’s looking like it’ll be a cracker, and it’s shaping up to be a close contest that punters are split on.
Most of the action has been for either the favourite Order of the Sun, who’s at some pretty short odds of $2.10 on Sportsbet right now, and for Count of Limonade, who is proving to be very popular indeed with punters, and who could yet prove to be very profitable, as well. According to Sportsbet’s Read the rest of this entry »

October 29th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThere’s been a massive amount of speculation over whether Gai Waterhouse would be able to defend her Melbourne Cup crown, and repeat her 2013 success in the race. Well, that speculation has been put to rest conclusively in the past day or so, and not in the way that anyone would have liked – Waterhouse included. The Offer is out of contention for the 2014 Melbourne Cup, and so he won’t be amongst those horses in the Racing odds at the end of the link there…
The Offer’s withdrawal will be Read the rest of this entry »

October 29th, 2014 by Pom de TurfRich Enuff was a popular choice for punters before the Caulfield Guineas, and pretty heavily backed, too, but he could only finish in second. A check of the Racing odds ahead of the Coolmore Stakes on Saturday, though, will tell you that Rich Enuff is poised to have a say in that race, too, and maybe pay back the punters who missed out on a big pay day when he came home behind Shooting To Win.
Rich Enuff is seeing the shortest odds for the Coolmore Stakes on November 1st at Sportsbet right now, and Read the rest of this entry »

October 29th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe’re getting tantalisingly close to the 2014 Melbourne Cup – this is that exciting time when there’s enough distance between us and the race for things to change, even to change dramatically, but close enough to jump-off for an idea of how the betting is going to go to be forming. It’s a great time to be keeping abreast of all the latest Racing odds by following the link we’ve got for you there, and for making sure you Read the rest of this entry »
