Melbourne Cup Odds: My Ambivalent Injury Scare
November 1st, 2014 by Pom de TurfShe’s apparently a pretty spirited horse, My Ambivalent, and you won’t catch her doing things that she doesn’t want to do – like setting off for track work at the scheduled time, or following her gallops partner Red Cadeaux when she’s supposed to. But those high spirits will be a relief for trainer David Eustace to see, because My Ambivalent has been through something of an injury scare this week – one that has seen her bobbing in those Racing odds – and if she wasn’t her usual self, he’d have real cause for worry.
As it stands, though, it looks as though Read the rest of this entry »

November 1st, 2014 by Pom de TurfThe Melbourne Cup is just around the corner, and there will no doubt be plenty of punters poring over the Racing odds ahead of the big race. Not to mention all those Racing fans who are only Racing fans for the one day a year – all the fans that make the Melbourne Cup the biggest race in the world, and who will be looking to scoop some winnings into the bargain. But who will they be looking at for the 2014 race? We’ve got Read the rest of this entry »

November 1st, 2014 by Pom de TurfPunters seem to know what they want in the 2014 Carbine Club Stakes that’s looming at Flemington this weekend – by far the majority of the backing has been thrown behind the favourite Azkadellia, and you can see from a look at the Racing odds at the end of the link there that he’s at some pretty short odds of $3.60 as of right now on Sportsbet. If you’re looking to go elsewhere for the Carbine Stakes, then you’ll want to Read the rest of this entry »

November 1st, 2014 by Pom de TurfAfter he won a handy victory at Moonee Valley in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup, Racing Victoria’s Chief Handicapper Greg Carpenter has seen fit to add a couple of kilos to Prince of Penzance for the Melbourne Cup, pushing him that little bit closer to the race, and more than likely having an effect on those Racing odds for the big day – so why not hit that link there and have a little glance over them to see if you can see any value for you?
And Prince of Penzance wasn’t the only Read the rest of this entry »

November 1st, 2014 by Pom de TurfHe’s still the favourite for the Melbourne Cup in the Racing odds that we’ve collected for the big day (which is coming around quite quickly now, we only have to wait until Tuesday!) and Admire Rakti is proving to be a popular favourite, too, with the punters.
The Japanese stayer has already tasted success in the 2014 Melbourne Spring, and all the media attention will have set his connections dreaming of a Melbourne Cup win to take back to Japan, as well. It’s no small achievement, of course, to win the Melbourne Cup, and Admire Rakti will have to Read the rest of this entry »

October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe’re starting to get excited about the 2014 Melbourne Cup. It was inevitable really, and it shouldn’t be a surprise, we suppose, because it happens at about this time every year, but the reduction of the field to forty has kept us checking those Racing odds regularly, and busily keeping an eye out for all the breaking news to bring it to you in these pages.

October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThere are an incredible 15 horses looking to buy themselves a ticket to the 2014 Melbourne Cup when they line up in the Lexus Stakes at the weekend, and that alone would make it well worth looking at when you’re sizing up the Racing odds as we go through the Melbourne Spring this year, and as the biggest race of the calendar creeps closer.
So there will be Read the rest of this entry »

October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe’re getting close enough now to the 2014 Melbourne Cup for most people you meet to be ready to give you their tips and predictions, and whilst you’re much more likely to put most of those generous tips out of your mind when you’re looking over those Racing odds for The Race That Stops A Nation, the wisdom of some pundits is always going to carry more weight than others. And there’s always the inside track from the folks who are going to be closest to the race itself – or even riding in it, like Craig Williams, who is tipping his ride Cavalryman to have a big say in the Cup…
Speaking to the press after a first hit-out on board the veteran English stayer, Williams was Read the rest of this entry »

October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfClassy kiwi mare Silent Achiever won’t feature in the 2014 edition of the Melbourne Cup, and you won’t see her name in the Racing odds at the end of that link: trainer Roger James this week ruled her out of a bid for the big race.
It sounds like it was a tough decision to make, and it will be a tough pill to swallow both for Silent Achiever’s connections and for James himself – not to mention all the punters who had their eye on Silent Achiever – but we get the impression from James’ statement to the press that Read the rest of this entry »

October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfBart Cummings seems to us like a man who knows how to win a Melbourne Cup. When you’ve done something 12 times already, a pattern is going to start emerging, and it looks like Cummings will be looking to repeat the pattern with Precedence before the 2014 Melbourne Cup. His prospect has a decent $67.00 beside his name in the Racing odds on Sportsbet as of today for the big race, but with a well-worn path to success to follow, it could be that that represents value.
That path would take Precedence to Read the rest of this entry »
