Odds As Of 01/11/2011
Latest Update 1st November 2011- The day is finally upon us. Mourayan is the only scratching so far.Stick with Centrebet for the best odds.
31st October 2011 - Last years winner Americain remains the favourite to win the 2011 Emirates Melbourne Cup, but is closely followed by Geelong Cup winner Dunaden which has also been heavily backed. Lucas Cranach, Niwot, At First Sight and Mourayan follow closely behind. Meanwhile, leading jockey Craig Williams will have to wait until Monday afternoon to see whether his suspension can be overturned before the race. The weather is expected to remain pleasant for the race at 3pm and rain should hold off. Punters, race-goers and all Australians are getting excited as the race that stops a nation draws near.
28th October 2011 - Craig Williams and Nash Rawiller are both at risk of being unable to compete in the Melbourne Cup after they were suspended on Wednesday following the Bendigo Cup. The top jockeys are expected to appeal the bans with the hope the appeals will not be heard until after the race which will leave them free to ride.
27th October 2011 - Lloyd Williams trained At First Sight impressed during the Bendigo Cup during the week, finishing second behind stable mate Tanby. The former European bulleted home from the rear of the field to claim second and will carry less weight in the Melbourne Cup, making him a tantalising prospect for the big race.
26th October 2011 – Luca Cumani’s Manighar may use blinkers for the first time during the Melbourne Cup. It is hoped that blinkers will bring more zip into the horses race, after he finished fouth in the Caulfield Cup. Manighar is the Cumani stable’s main Melbourne Cup fancy.
25th October 2011 – Luca Cumani trained Bauer is touch and go for the Melbourne Cup, having to rely on others to withdraw nominations before being granted a start. Bauer is 29th in the order of entry for the Melbourne Cup coming off the back of a third in the Geelong Cup.
24th October 2011 Americain remains at the top of the Melbourne Cup betting stakes after a stellar ride at the Cox Plate on Saturday. The 2010 Melbourne Cup champion cruised to victory in the Moonee Valley Cup with an explosive run coming into the home straight. He is now at $4.00 in Centrebet’s Melbourne Cup betting odds ahead of Dunaden at $7.00 and Lucas Cranach at $7.50.
20th October 2011 Dunaden skyrockets to the top Yesterday’s Geelong Cup has rocketed winner Dunaden up the Melbourne Cup odds list, placing him third behind Americain and Lucas Cranach. Dunaden had an outstanding run to easily beat any rivals, pushing many punters to draw parallels between him and Americain, who also won the Geelong Cup on his way to Melbourne Cup triumph last year. The other big mover after Geelong Cup day was Cumani trained Bauer, who finished an impressive third. The horse was oh so close in the Melbourne Cup of 2008, and will be looking to defy critics that say he’s past his best.
19th October 2011 Field wide open The weekend’s Caulfield Cup has done nothing for punters chances of picking a winner in the Melbourne Cup. With early favourite December Draw fracturing a lateral splint and the winner Southern Speed, not even nominated the field is wide open. The favourite for the Cup is now last year’s winner French trained Americain (LINK to page) with Green Moon (LINK to page), who was second in the Caulfield Cup at the next shortest odds. There is some great value in a lot of horses and it will be very interesting to see how the odds move in the lead up to the big day.
The Melbourne Cup is Australia’s premier horse race, contested by some of the world’s best stayers for a prize purse of around $6 million. Known as the ‘race that stops a nation,’ the Group 1 3200 metre event is watched by millions the world over and is a favourite for both experienced and amateur punters alike. The Melbourne Cup is hosted annually by the Flemington Racecourse in metropolitan Melbourne, and is the headline act of Victoria’s Spring Racing Carnival. A public holiday is granted to all of metropolitan Melbourne in honour of the great race.
2011 Melbourne Cup Nominations It’s not long until the final Melbourne Cup nominations come in, with the date set at October 28. The big question is which names will be the main contenders in betting circles when it’s all settled – will names like Americain, Lucas Cranach, Lion Tamer, Green Moon and Shamrocker feature? Or will there be some surprises in store. Keep your eye on centrebet.com for the 2011 Melbourne Cup nominations and betting options as the day draws closer.

Melbourne Cup History
First run in 1861, the Melbourne Cup has been the centrepiece of the Australian racing calendar for over 100 years and has provided a vast array of memorable moments. There has been a range of Melbourne Cup trainers and Melbourne Cup jockeys that have put their stamp on this great race over the years.
Trainers & Jockeys
Champion trainer Bart Cummings is one name synonymous with Melbourne Cup folklore, having won the Cup a record 12 times. The next closest are Maybe Diva trainer Lee Freedman, with 5 wins, and Etienne de Mestre, trainer of inaugural 1861 Melbourne Cup winner Archer, also with 5 wins.
Champion jockeys have also left their mark on this famous horse race over the years. Both Bobby Lewis and Harry White have won the race 4 times, with White owing a lot of his success to the fact that he was Cummings jockey of choice during his 1970’s dominance of the Cup.
Makybe Diva & Phar Lap
In recent times, champion thoroughbred Makybe Diva wrote itself into Melbourne Cup history winning the great race three times in a row. From 2003-2005, Makybe Diva had Australia and the world captivated as she dominated headlines and finish lines alike throughout the Spring Carnival.
Despite her record, Makybe Diva wasn’t the Cup’s shortest priced favourite, with that honour belonging to another champion thoroughbred, Phar Lap, who won the 1930 Melbourne Cup at 11/8. Phar Lap had been hidden away in Geelong before the race after an attempt at his life was made in the weeks prior. Despite being regarded as Australia’s greatest race horse, Phar Lap only won the Melbourne Cup once.

2011 Melbourne Cup betting pools are high, as you would expect from one of the richest races in the world; in 2010 the total prize money was AUD$5.5 million. It is a Group 1, 3200 metres handicap, which is run at 3.10pm AEST, on the first Tuesday in November.
Cup Day is also the centrepiece of the four race days of Cup Week, with race-goers taking a festive approach to the day. It is the peak of the Spring Racing Carnival - when champagne and canapés, huge hats and race track fashions sometimes overshadow the business of the day - horse racing. For many Melburnians, it is truly the event of the year. It's a day when the nation stops whatever it's doing to listen to the race call, or watch the race on TV and even those who don't usually bet buy a ticket in a sweep.

Picking A Winner - 2011 Melbourne Cup Betting - 2011 Melbourne Cup Odds
2011 Melbourne Cup betting, especially picking the winner, is an imprecise art at best, primarily as it is one of the world's most challenging horse races on the horse racing betting calendar. The race is run over 3200 metres and is a handicapped race. This means, theoretically, that the better the horse is the more weight it has to carry.
The distance and the handicap are the equaliser for 2011 Melbourne Cup betting - ensuring that the mug punter has nearly as good a chance of picking the winner as those who follow the form. The Cox Plate is considered the race most likely to provide an insight into a horse's form and likely 2010 Melbourne Cup betting performance, but even this is unreliable.
