Caulfield Cup Tips - cash in by backing ballots

Steve Mcghee / 17 October 2009 / Leave a comment

The first three ballots of the 2009 G1 Caulfield Cup rate massive chances in the consolation G3 David Jones Cup (2000m), which is the race run right before the main event of the day. Two of them deserved a start in the big show (Baughurst and Shocking) and the other is a fourth up specialist (Newport), so bettors can now build up their bank for an even bigger splurge on the Caulfield Cup.Read more »

Herbert Power-Hissing Sid snake eyes anyone?

Steve Mcghee / 08 October 2009 / Leave a comment

Hissing Sid looks the one to beat in the Herbert Power at Caulfield on Saturday at the weights from a soft draw and I expect some serious money to go on the gelding late let alone in pre-post markets. Read more »

Precedence to pull rank at Caulfield

Steve Mcghee / 06 October 2009 / Leave a comment

The stayer Precedence has always had some speculative money on him for the major staying races over the Melbourne spring carnival and not just because he is trained by the 'Cups king' himself Bart Cummings and is sired by Zabeel.Read more »

Some basic info on the Caulfield cup 2009

The Caulfield Cup is a Thoroughbred horse race that is extremely popular in Australia and well known throughout the racing world all over. The Caulfield Cup is held every year at by the Melbourne Racing Club. With this horse race open to horses that are 3 years old and above, they are able to possibly qualify for the Melbourne Cup; and like the Melbourne Cup, the Caulfield Cup is a handicap that is 2,400 metres in length. Although this race was first run in the autumn in 1879, it later moved to the spring in 1881 and has remained there ever since.

With the closeness and similar layout of the Melbourne Cup and the Caulfield Cup, it is known as the first betting double. This is why the Caulfield Cup betting often times encompasses the Melbourne Cup as well. In the past, people who bet on the Cups Double have seen great returns on Ethereal, Doriemus, Might and Let’s Elope.

The Caulfield Cup track used to be often referred to as The Heath due to its harsh nature. In 1996 it had a makeover that made it not only a better track but more friendly to the punters. With this, the Caulfield track got excellent reviews. The new track saw a widening of 30 metres as well as a 43 metre length increase on the straight away. The new addition of a glass shielding helped prevent the spectators from getting soaked in the case of inclement weather.

Overall, the Caulfield Cup is an event that houses some of the toughest races going every season. In this event, prize monies have been seen to reach over 2 million dollars. This is a very large purse and is not seen in many other events.

As time draws closer to the Caulfield Cup 2009, odds will shorten dramatically. For now, middle August for 2009 shows no real leader or favorite. The pool of horses also shows some older horses that are hanging around which makes many believe that a newcomer might snatch the prize. At this point, it is anyone’s guess and we will wait until that time. In the meantime, getting ready is half the battle.
