Melbourne Cup Odds and Tips: A Spring Triple?
October 12th, 2013 by Pom de TurfIf you’re going to dream, then you might as well dream big. That’s clearly Nick Williams’ philosophy, as he sets his sights on a spring season triple of Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup for the camp – they’ve picked up the Melbourne Cup on four previous occasions, but it would be a first win of either the Caulfield Cup or the Cox Plate. So what has him in such good spirits?
Just focusing in on the horses that the Williams camp have in contention for the Melbourne Cup in November gives you an idea of why they’re setting their ambitions so high. First off, there’s Green Moon, who’ll be looking to make it back-to-back Melbourne Cups, and who would be worth $31.00 if you backed him at Sportsbet today. Then there’s Fawkner, who’s currently a $51.00 to take the big race. But the best bet for a Williams horse to take the Melbourne Cup looks at the moment to be Masked Marvel, who’s at $19.00. Williams will know by November 5th if he’s still in the running for what would be a magical triple, and the odds will have shifted plenty by then – you can keep track of them here: Melbourne Cup odds 2013…
