Spring Horse Racing Carnival
Throughout Australia, we appreciate our horse racing & we figured we’d showcase Aussie’s greatest or possibly largest famous carnival, The Melbourne Spring Carnival. Sit back & live it up as we bring people through Melbourne’s largest race around Australia, showcasing Victoria’s stars of Victoria’s Turf and of course the trainers and jockeys in the center of this wonderful industry. This is Victoria’s very best moment for punters to acquire their money’s worth.
Once we eventually get over Derby Day and by god it is a big event, we anticipate ourselves for the day that stops a nation, The Melbourne Cup. Ever since the commencement of the race, the stories of Archer being paraded down from Sydney to contest the Trophy and who won the first two runnings of it to boot, Australians have been captivated. Melbournians even get a bank holiday to celebrate!
The love affair that was Makybe Diva and the Aussie residents was something to be admired. Makybe Diva was why individuals went to the track. To win three Melbourne Cups in progression is something that we arguably will not ever see again. What about the awe Australians got when Dermot Weld came out and took our Trophy home to Ireland back in ‘93 with Vintage Crop. Or perhaps when he did it again in ‘02 with Media Puzzle. What about Sheila Laxon triumphant with Ethereal, or perhaps the memorable Might & Power and Doriemus photo finish. The rain poured down in ‘74 & Van Der Hum swam home.
And then there was Bart. JB Cummings. The Cups King. The man who has trained the Melbourne Cup victor a lazy 11 times. With horses such as Light Fingers, Galilee, Think Big (twice), Hyperno, Let’s Elope and Saintly successing for him in the past. In 2008 punters & bookies alike were praying Viewed could do it for the Cup Kings and make that apathetic 11 a decent dozen across the covering and who would have though the soon to be eighty year old would truly complete it. Well executed Bart, you are absolutely the king of the Turf. This is by far the biggest horse racing event in Australia.
We will additionally not forget the hot water Luca Cumani & 2nd place winner Bauer landed in after it was made public the horse obtained shockwave therapy, banned within 7 days of the Melbourne Cup. The pandemonium was sensational, especially after it was discovered an RVL chosen vet supervised the treatment.
