Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 6, 2023 Journalists Share Posted November 6, 2023 As the 2023 Melbourne Cup approaches, we delve into various approaches to predict the winner of the renowned “race that stops the nation.” Melbourne Cup betting is arguably more influenced by historical data and statistics than any other horse race globally. One of the commonly referenced statistics centers around the barrier draw, as it can significantly influence the chances of a potential Melbourne Cup victor. For our analysis, we will primarily focus on data from 1999 onwards, as reliable sources are limited for the period prior to that, despite barriers being introduced in the race as far back as 1958. How many times has Barrier 11 won the Melbourne Cup? Barrier 11 has won the Melbourne Cup twice since 1999: 2001 Melbourne Cup winner was Kiwi mare Ethereal trained by NZ trainer Sheila Laxon. Ethereal was the last horse to complete the Caulfield – Melbourne Cup double. American was the second horse to win the Melbourne Cup from Barrier 10 since 1999. Who is in Barrier 11 for the 2023 Melbourne Cup? Ashrun will be in Barrier 10 for the 2023 Melbourne Cup.
