Where to bet on the 2018 Melbourne Cup

Horse Racing

The Melbourne Cup, the race that stops a nation, will run on Tuesday 6th November 2018 and betting is already open.

This year the capacity field of 24 horses could face a wet track if predicted storms hit Flemington. Because of the forecast punters have started to get behind English stayer Magic Circle who is known to have wet track form. Magic Circle is now second favourite behind Yucatan, who has drifted slightly after drawing wide in barrier 23.

There are so many ways you can have a bet on the Melbourne Cup from straight up win bets to trifectas, quinellas and first fours. No matter what bet type you go for make sure you only bet with Australian regulated bookmakers. You can see our list of trusted and regulated bookmakers.
