September 11th, 2014 by Pom de TurfA bigger spectacle every year, with a brighter field of international stars running it, the Melbourne Cup is very much improved by the overseas horses who make the long trip to our shores, waiting patiently in quarantine for their chance to run in the big race. But there has been a little bit of international flavour mostly missing for the past few years – an outbreak of equine flu has kept a number of potential contenders from Japan out of the Racing odds and out of the running for the Melbourne Cup, which has been a shame.
But it looks like Read the rest of this entry »

September 11th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThere has been, and there will be between now and The Race That Stops a Nation at the start of November, lots of talk about the overseas raiders who will be making their way to Australia to run in our biggest race.

September 9th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe just love to see international horses making the journey to Australia to take part in The Race That Stops A Nation. Undeniably, they add an extra element to Australia’s biggest race, and their inclusion only makes those Racing odds more interesting for punters all around the country – and all around the world.
And there are an impressive 31 overseas horses nominated for the 2014 edition of the Melbourne Cup, three more than last year’s. We’re not sure if that means Read the rest of this entry »

September 5th, 2014 by Pom de TurfA fixture in recent Melbourne Cups, Red Cadeaux has been in amongst the Racing odds for The Race That Stops A Nation for the past three years – and could well be back for another shot in 2014. But what path will the veteran take through the Melbourne Spring this year? All three of those previous Melbourne Cup runs have been without a preparatory run on Australian soil, but this year, things could be arranged a bit differently, according to trainer Ed Dunlop: ‘Gerald Mosse wanted to give him another run before he left and it gives us the option of going into quarantine one or quarantine two. There is the Caulfield Cup, the Geelong Cup and whatever options one wants to think off. Half of me says Read the rest of this entry »

September 5th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt’s no secret that Queen Elizabeth II is keen on Racing, but you somehow can’t imagine her checking over the Racing odds in the morning papers over her coffee and toast. She might be keeping an eye on the early odds for the 2014 Melbourne Cup, mind you, and especially the odds for Estimate, the horse who could easily be the Queen’s first Melbourne Cup runner since the mid-nineties.

September 3rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfGai Waterhouse will be looking to repeat her Melbourne Cup victory of 2013, but she won’t have the luxury of Fiorente to help her do it – so she’s looking to manage her best prospect quite carefully in the run-up to the Melbourne Spring Season. That best prospect is likely to be The Offer – he’s the favourite for the Melbourne Cup in your Racing odds as of today – and he’s had a good trial in the past week, or at least good enough to Read the rest of this entry »
