The Robo Pope

At Australia, we enjoy our horse racing and we figured we’d reveal Aussie’s greatest or possibly largest renowned festival, The Melbourne Spring Carnival. Relax back & enjoy as we lead people through Australia’s largest race around Australia, disclosing the stars of Melbourne’s Turf & of course the trainers with riders in the cutting edge of this mind-blowing industry. This is the finest moment for punters to grab their money’s worth.

Once we eventually get over Derby Day and by god it’s an enormous day, we hype ourselves for the day that stops a nation, The Melbourne Cup. Ever since the inception of the race, the stories of Archer being paraded down from Sydney to contest the Cup & who won the 1st two runnings of it to boot, Australians have been captivated. Victorian’s even get a public holiday to celebrate!

The love experience that was Makybe Diva & the Australian residents was something to be admired. She was why race goers continued going to the track. To win 3 Melbourne Cups in succession is something else that we perhaps won’t ever see again. What about the bump Australians got when Dermot Weld came away & took the Cup back to Ireland in ‘93 with Vintage Crop. Or maybe when he tried it again in ‘02 with Media Puzzle. What about Sheila Laxon triumphant with Ethereal, or perhaps the famed Might And Power and Doriemus photo ending. The rain poured down in ‘74 and Van Der Hum brought it home.

And then maybe there was Bart. JB Cummings. The Cup’s King. The man who has trained the Melbourne Cup victor a lazy eleven times. With horses such as Light Fingers, Galilee, Think Big (twice), Hyperno, Let’s Elope and Saintly winning for him in the past. In 2008 punters & bookies alike were praying Viewed could do it for the Cup Kings and accomplish that weary eleven a decent dozen beyond the curtain and who would have though the soon to be 80 year old would actually complete it. Well completed Bart, you are actually the king of the Turf. With so many TAB and online sports betting websites in Australia, punters can easily place their bets.

We will also not forget the hot water Luca Cumani and second place winner Bauer landed in after it was revealed the horse gotten shockwave treatment, not legal within 7 days of the Melbourne Cup. The babel was sensational, particularly after it was discovered an RVL appointed veterinarian conducted the treatment.
