The Spring Racing Carnival is the biggest horse racing event in Australia. The Carnival runs for 50 days during September, October and November annually and always provides sensational wins and unexpected upsets. The races that are part of the annual Spring Carnival include the Caulfield Guineas, Caulfield Thousand Guineas, Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate, Victoria Derby, Crown Oaks, Emirates Stakes and of course the illustrious Melbourne Cup.
Held on the first Tuesday of November each year, the Melbourne Cup is inarguably the most important and famous race on the Australian horse racing calendar and the highlight of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival. The Melbourne Cup is the biggest single betting, and best known, horse racing event in Australia and the richest handicap race in the world.
A win in the Melbourne Cup secures the horse, jockey, trainer and owner in the history books as it is known as “the race that stops a nation”. The maximum number of runners to leave the stalls is 24, and they do so every year in front of the 100,000 plus crowd that gathers to watch Australia’s favourite race. The race attracts a large number of international horses as well, all competing for the large prize money.
The Melbourne Cup combines with the Caulfield Cup to make up the major Cup’s double of the Spring Carnival; betting markets for both cups open months in advance.

Did you know that online bookmakers give you better odds than the TAB?
It's true, SportsBet will give you the best odds from all 3 TABs or Starting Price (SP), whichever is better, with CityBestPlus.
Let's look at an example:
You bet $10 on "So You Think" to win the 2009 Cox Plate at the Victorian TAB.
When "So You Think" won you got paid $9.50, so your winnings were $95. Not bad.
However, if you had bet with SportsBet's CityBestPlus "So You Think" paid $14 (SP), so you would have won $140!
That's $45 more than at the TAB, and you didn't even have to leave your home.
But it's not just better payouts that online bookmakers can offer you, they also have free bonus bets. For example, when you join SportsBet and make your first bet you will receive up a first bet bonus worth up to $250 FREE. When was the last time your local TAB gave you a free bet?
