Melbourne Cup Horses Racing Live Streaming Online 05 November 2019 On Your Pc, Laptop, I Pad, I Phone, Ps4, And Online Device.
Timeform give the lowdown on the Melbourne Cup, looking at recent winners, ones to watch for 2019 and where to find form and tips for Tuesday morning’s race.
First run in 1861, the Melbourne Cup is known as the ‘race that stops a nation’. Much like the Grand National in Britain, it is the one race of the year that fully permeates the national consciousness, and makes an impact beyond the racing world. In fact, even equating it to the Grand National is perhaps underplaying its significance in Australia: there is a public holiday in the state of Victoria.
The Melbourne Cup is no longer Australia’s richest race, with the A$8 million purse dwarfed by the eye-watering A$14 million on offer for the Everest, which was first run in 2017. However, the Melbourne Cup, which is contested over 3200 metres (or roughly two miles), remains the nation’s most sought-after prize.
Melbourne Cup Winners
As you can see from the table below, the Melbourne Cup as it exists today is a truly international affair. Last year 10 of the 24 runners were trained in Britain or Ireland, plus there was a runner from Japan and another from New Zealand. There has been a decline in Australian-trained qualifiers, and an even starker drop-off in Australian-bred competitors. Despite the many entries from the northern hemisphere, only three Irish-trained horses have ever managed to win the Melbourne Cup, while 2018 winner Cross Counter was the first British trained horse to do so.

*Put up an even better performance when fourth under top-weight one year later, recording a Timeform performance rating of 129.
It’s fair to say that the international nature of the modern race hasn’t gone down well with all the locals – perhaps understandably, with a decade having passed since the last winner who was Australian-bred, owned and trained.
However, for all they have faced a greater threat from Europe, there has been no let-up whatsoever in Aussie ambition. And when it comes to the Cup, one man in particular has had great success in taking matters into his own hands.
