I don't bet on the Melbourne Cup until I've spoken with Luke Murrell @Ausbloodstock. He's imported and owned 2 Melbourne Cup winners and won most other major staying races too here and abroad. No-one spends more time on video, data & sectionals knowing the real quality overseas raiders vs the pretenders. Much of the commentary and 'insight' on the imports from the media and others is watered down, heavily sanitised and inaccurate. There are 10 overseas trained runners in this year's Melbourne Cup, plus most of the Australian trained runners are imports also. Plus he gives the inside honest appraisal of the chances of his runners Al Riffa, Vauban & Royal Supremacy. Luke pulls no punches and gives a blunt assessment of every runner, putting a complete pen through many of the runners that are heavily favoured in the market this year. You can't bet on the Melbourne Cup until you get a real understanding of each runner's ability. In 2022 we both tipped $21 winner Gold Trip in our top 2, in 2023 we both had Without A Fight top rated, and last year Wrap Speed at 40/1 would have been a big result but was nosed out on the line. This year Luke thinks 3 horses can win, and I think there are 4 winning chances. Check out our 2025 Melbourne Cup runner by runner preview here! youtube.com/watch?v=X3Ng6MAW…
