The 2024 Melbourne Cup will be the first since 2008 (and the fourth since 1979) guaranteed to have a completely new set of placegetters. No previous placegetter remains in the entries.
It will be the first since 2002 guaranteed to have a completely new top four.
One time Melbourne Cup hope Savennah's Knight ran super at good odds....ran 5th in the Arc. Was meant to come to Melbourne for the Cup, they chose the Arc instead.
The only thing certain about this Melbourne Cup so far is the lunch I am hosting.
Not over keen on any horse at the moment but time should change that.
You're not the only person to say that. There's also lots on racing forums in the internet who are saying that they aren't keen on the race this year. Sort of lacks a vibe or potentially lacks depth class wise.
