Melbourne Cup Odds: Fawkner Confirmed
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 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 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 »

October 29th, 2014 by Pom de TurfTempting Melbourne Cup prospect Renew won’t be making an appearance in the 2014 race, we’re hearing this week – the European stayer’s connections have settled on a tilt at the Sandown Cup just a little bit less than two weeks later instead – so you can rule Renew out of your calculations when you’re assessing those Racing odds for The Race That Stops A Nation.
It was OTI Director Terry Henderson who Read the rest of this entry »

October 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt’s crunch time for La Amistad as far as the Melbourne Cup is concerned – she needs to perform this weekend or she’ll likely be out of those Racing odds for The Race That Stops A Nation.
It seems like a shame for a horse who has been so highly rated to be flirting with failure at this stage of the Melbourne Spring, but La Amistad has been steadily falling out of favour with punters, and needs to turn in a performance to get things back on track. So look out for Read the rest of this entry »

October 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfPreparing a racehorse for a huge marquee event like the Caulfield Cup is hard work and there’s more than a little bit of luck required in getting to the start line in peak condition. The rub of the green looks to have been against a few Caulfield Cup hopefuls this week, though, and there will be some names missing from the Racing odds when you check them today by clicking that link…
First of all, there’s Dandino, whose Read the rest of this entry »
Read more »Melbourne Cup Odds: Protectionist Takes Shortest Odds
October 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThere’s a new favourite in the Racing odds for the 2014 Melbourne Cup this week, as German import Protectionist’s odds have shortened to the point where he’s the horse to beat.
Taking the mantle from Gai Waterhouse’s The Offer, Protectionist now has odds of $7.00 beside his name. The Offer has slipped to $13.00, and between them you’ll find Japanese stayers Bande and Admire Rakti, and classy prospect Lucia Valentina. Protectionist finds himself Read the rest of this entry »

October 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt’s amazing to think that Chris Waller, with all his success, has yet to claim one of the big four ‘Grand Slam’ races here in Australia. He has yet to have a touch of a trophy from the Caulfield Cup, the Cox Plate, the Melbourne Cup or the Golden Slipper. And he won’t want to be reminded of that, particularly – those are some high-profile gaps in his huge trophy cabinet. With four runners right in amongst the horses with the shortest odds in the Racing odds for the Caulfield Cup at the weekend, though, it could be that Chris Waller is about to Read the rest of this entry »

October 17th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt doesn’t seem all that long ago that we were talking about the possibility of Gai Waterhouse claiming a second Melbourne Cup in two years, and pointing to her runner The Offer’s early favouritism as her best chance. But things have changed over the course of the Melbourne Spring, and things have certainly changed in the Racing odds you’ll see at the end of the link there.
Not that The Offer is out of the picture by any means. He’s a $12.00 bet on Sportsbet as of today, but there are Read the rest of this entry »

October 16th, 2014 by Pom de TurfPunters aren’t just looking at Japanese stayer Bande for the Melbourne Cup on November 4th, but also to win the Caulfield Cup this weekend. He’s right up there amongst the horses with the shortest odds, too, if you have a look at the Racing odds we’ve got for you at the end of that link. He’ll have a check over by the stewards to get through, but once he gets a clean bill of health he’ll be looking to Read the rest of this entry »
