Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 6, 2023 Journalists Share Posted November 6, 2023 True Marvel is the opens as the biggest outsider in the 2023 Melbourne Cup. (Photo by Alice Miles/Racing Photos) The 2023 Melbourne Cup will take place on Tuesday, November 7 at Flemington Racecourse. Australia’s most famous race has produced a number of surprise winners over the years, including a few that were given no hope in hell. The question is: are there any horses in this year’s field that can defy the odds? Melbourne Cup winners by longest odds The highest official betting price for a Melbourne Cup winner is 100/1, which was first achieved when The Pearl came from the clouds in 1871. That feat has since been matched by three other horses: Wotan (1936), Old Rowley (1940) and Prince Of Penzance (2015). Prince Of Penzance’s win was doubly remarkable. Not only was it the first time in 75 years that a $101 shot had won the Melbourne Cup, it was also the first time a female jockey – Michelle Payne – had ridden a winner in the great race. Long shots in 2023 Melbourne Cup betting True Marvel and Sheraz are the long shots in the 2023 Melbourne Cup field, with both priced over $100.00 with online bookmakers for the race that stops the nation. 2023 Melbourne Cup Field No. Silks Horse Trainer Jockey Barrier Weight Odds 1 Gold Trip Ciaron Maher & David Eustace James McDonald 2 58.5kg +340 2 Alenquer Michael Moroney Damien Oliver 9 56.5kg +5000 3 Without A Fight Anthony & Sam Freedman Mark Zahra 16 56.5kg +600 4 Breakup Tatsuya Yoshioka Kohei Matsuyama 18 55kg +1700 5 Vauban Willie Mullins Ryan Moore 3 55kg +240 6 Soulcombe Chris Waller Joao Moreira 4 53.5kg +1000 7 Absurde Willie Mullins Zac Purton 8 53kg +2200 8 Right You Are Ciaron Maher & David Eustace John Allen 15 53kg +7000 9 Vow And Declare Danny O’Brien Billy Egan 19 53kg +3000 10 Cleveland Kris Lees Michael Dee 23 52kg +2600 11 Ashrun Ciaron Maher & David Eustace Kerrin McEvoy 11 51.5kg +4000 12 Daqiansweet Junior Phillip Stokes Daniel Stackhouse 12 51.5kg +9000 13 Okita Soushi Joseph O’Brien Dylan Gibbons 20 51.5kg +7000 14 Sheraz Chris Waller Beau Mertens 22 51.5kg +12500 15 Lastotchka Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) Craig Williams 21 51kg +2500 16 Magical Lagoon Chris Waller Mark Du Plessis 7 51kg +9000 17 Military Mission Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Rachel King 5 51kg +4500 18 Serpentine Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Jye McNeil 1 51kg +6000 19 Virtuous Circle Liam Howley Craig Newitt 6 51kg +9000 20 More Felons Chris Waller Jamie Kah 24 50.5kg +3000 21 Future History Ciaron Maher & David Eustace Hollie Doyle 13 50kg +2600 22 Interpretation Ciaron Maher & David Eustace Teo Nugent 17 50kg +6000 23 Kalapour Kris Lees Zac Lloyd 14 50kg +5000 24 True Marvel Matthew Smith Ben Thompson 10 50kg +15000 2023 Melbourne Cup Odds Flemington – Race 7 Lexus Melbourne Cup Status: Open Track Rating: Good4 Weather: overcast AUS 3200m03:00pm – Tue 7th Nov Place Win 1.
