Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival Betting
The Melbourne Spring Carnival is undoubtedly the pinnacle of the Australian racing calendar. Held over 10 weeks, the carnival attracts the elite horse flesh of the Australian turf and is one of the most anticipated times of year for punters and racing enthusiasts alike.
The Carnival consists of meetings from all Metropolitan clubs; Flemington, Caulfield, Moonee Valley and Sandown, but also includes Geelong and Bendigo.
The most popular and anticipated races are undoubtedly the 3 majors – the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup.
The 3-day Caulfield Carnival kicks off proceedings and is held throughout a 2-week period in October. The Caulfield Guineas highlights a bumper card of racing on the first weekend, complemented by three Group 1’s, the Thousand Guineas, the Toorak Handicap, and the Caulfield Stakes. This is followed up by the Blue Sapphire meeting on the Wednesday, before the Caulfield Cup takes centre stage on the following Saturday.
The 2-day Moonee Valley Carnival takes place on the following weekend, and includes the Manikato Stakes for the speedsters on the Friday night, followed up by the W.S. Cox Plate the very next day.
The 4-day Flemington Carnival in early November, considered the jewel in the crown, and one of the most recognisable racing carnivals in the world follows. The traditional black and white themed Derby Day leads off on the first Saturday, followed by the race that stops the nation, the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday. The VRC Oaks is held on the Thursday following the Cup, and is known as ‘Ladies Day’. The Carnival is closed on Saturday with the running of the Group 1 Mackinnon.
