October 31st, 2009 - Melbourne Cup Free Bets – Viewed and Alcopop Betting Favourites

Viewed and Alcopop remained equal favourites for Tuesday’s richest Australian horse race, the Melbourne Cup at Flemington after the barrier draw on Saturday night.
Viewed who has previously won the cup, drew barrier nine and betting is around $5.50 with Alcopop drawing barrier twelve.
Online horse racing bookmakers are expecting record online betting despite the current financial crisis and are offering some great free bet offers.
The big firmer in the betting on Saturday was impressive Lexus Stakes winner Shocking who came in from $21 to $11 despite drawing wide in 22.
Master O’Reilly, who drew barrier 16, is at $14.
The seven-year-old is trainer Danny O’Brien’s sole runner after stablemate Vigor failed to make the 24-horse field.
O’Brien gambled on gaining a spot for Vigor in the Cup by scratching the Caulfield Cup placegetter from Saturday’s Mackinnon Stakes, a race which, had he won, would have made him exempt from the Cup ballot.
Bart Cummings, chasing his 13th win in the Melbourne Cup, has two of the top three in TAB Sportsbet’s latest market with Viewed and stablemate Roman Emperor, who drew barrier 15, next at $8.
Cummings’ third runner in the race, Allez Wonder, drew barrier 13 and was at $26.

The Melbourne Cup Carnival has received a triple shock on the morning of its opening day with Efficient and Kirklees scratched from the Melbourne Cup while Shamoline Warrior was ruled out of the Victoria Derby.
Mark Kavanagh gained a measure of compensation for the raceday scratching of Victoria Derby favourite Shamoline Warrior when Shocking won the Group III The Lexus Stakes.
Shocking, the only runner in the Lexus field guaranteed a start in the Melbourne Cup, was produced along the rails by jockey Michael Rodd to win the 2500m race at Flemington going away from Hume and Irazu. Scenic Shot proved too strong in the Group I Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington today, while Viewed finished a slashing third to confirm he was on target for the Melbourne Cup.
Viewed, the Caulfield Cup winner bidding to go back-to-back in the Melbourne Cup, finished strongly under hand-riding on the outside to claim third, a long neck behind the runner-up.
“Did you like it, did you,” trainer Bart Cummings said of Viewed’s run. “I thought it was quite a good run, and he’ll benefit from that run.” Cummings, striving for his 13th Melbourne Cup, said that Viewed suffered a superficial cut to the off-hind hock, which was bleeding when he returned to scale.

TEN years of chasing has taught trainer Saeed Bin Suroor the traits a horse needs to win a Melbourne Cup.
“You need a horse with class, that stays and has the speed,” Bin Suroor said yesterday – the first morning he has been at the Sandown quarantine centre this year.
He says All The Good, aiming to become the 12th horse to complete the Caulfield-Melbourne Cups double and the first since Ethereal in 2001, is that horse.
“You need a horse that handles fast ground,” he said.
“I think this year we have the right horse. To win the Caulfield Cup, that is good enough to take him with some confidence to the Melbourne Cup.”
Bin Suroor trained Give The Slip, the runner-up behind Ethereal in the 2001 Cup.
Winning jockey Scott Seamer found better ground in the centre of the track, while Richard Hills kept Give The Slip hard against the rails.
Bin Suroor described the Melbourne Cup as “one of the best races in the world”.
“We’ve finished second twice and third another time – that shows you how difficult the race is,” he said.
“We’ve won most of the big races around the world, except the Melbourne Cup, the Japan Cup and Kentucky Derby.
“He (All The Good) has the class. He’s won over a mile and six (2800m) quite easy and he won the Caulfield Cup, but the Melbourne Cup is a different race — better horses and a longer distance.
“But he likes the ground, he has the class and the speed, and if he relaxes in the race, I think he’ll stay.”
Asked if he thought the Aidan O’Brien-trained Septimus had a mortgage on the Cup, Bin Suroor distanced himself from talking about horses outside his stable.
But he did acknowledge that Septimus was a “good horse, a very good horse”.
All The Good will canter again today and have his first serious gallop since the Caulfield Cup at Sandown tomorrow.
Bin Suroor said he would not ask Kerrin McEvoy to partner All The Good in the 1200m workout, leaving it to track rider Terry Cook.
He said McEvoy knew the horse and he wanted to keep the same routine heading into the Melbourne Cup.
