The Cash Trio

At Australia, we like our horse racing and we thought we’d disclose Aussie’s largest and most famous festival, The Melbourne Spring Festival. Relax back and have fun as we guide people through Australia’s biggest race within Australia, revealing Melbourne’s stars of Melbourne’s Turf & of course the trainers & riders in the forefront of this great industry. This is the very best moment for punters to grab their money’s worth. This is the busiest time for online sports betting companies and website in Australia and all around the world.

Once we finally get beyond Derby Day and by god it’s a huge day, we prepare ourselves for the day that stops the nation, The Melbourne Cup. Ever since the inception of the race, the stories of Archer being paraded down from Sydney to contest the Cup and who won the first two runnings of it to boot, Aussies have been captivated. Melbournians even get a bank holiday to celebrate!

The love affair that was Makybe Diva and the Australian population was something to be admired. She was why punters went to the track. To win 3 Melbourne Cups in progression is something else that we possibly will not ever happen again. What about the daze Australians got when Dermot Weld came out and took our Trophy home to Ireland back in ‘93 with Vintage Crop. Or when he tried it again in ‘02 with Media Puzzle. What about Sheila Laxon winning with Ethereal, or perhaps the memorable Might And Power & Doriemus photo ending. The rain came down back in ‘74 and Van Der Hum brought it home.

And then there was Bart. JB Cummings. The Cups King. The man who has trained the Melbourne Cup champion a lazy eleven times. With horses such as Light Fingers, Galilee, Think Big (twice), Hyperno, Let’s Elope and Saintly triumphanting for him in the past. Back in 2008 punters & bookies alike were praying Viewed could do it for the Cup Kings & make that lazy 11 a decent dozen across the covering & who would have though the soon to be eighty year old would actually complete it. Well done Bart, you are devotedly the king of the Turf.

We will additionally not forget the hot water Luca Cumani and second place victor Bauer landed in after it was evident the horse received shockwave therapeutics, illegal within seven days of the Melbourne Cup. The uproar was phenomenal, particularly after it was revealed an RVL selected vet conducted the treatment.
