Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 1, 2021 Journalists Share Posted November 1, 2021 The 2021 Melbourne Cup will take place on Tuesday, November 2 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 2021 Melbourne Cup betting The Matt Cumani-trained Future Score is the biggest long shot in the 2021 Melbourne Cup field. Having not won since the the 2020 Cranbourne Cup, the seven-year-old son of Cape Cross is a $201 rank outsider with online bookmakers for the race that stops the nation. Several horses are set to go around as $151 chances. Johnny Get Angry, Knights Order, Carif, Miami Bound, and Port Guillaume are all set to go around at the big quote. 2021 Melbourne Cup Field No. Silks Horse Trainer Jockey Barrier Weight Odds 1 Twilight Payment Joseph O’Brien Jye McNeil 2 58kg $11 2 Incentivise Peter Moody Brett Prebble 16 57kg $2.50 3 Spanish Mission Andrew Balding Craig Williams 14 57kg $9 4 Verry Elleegant Chris Waller James McDonald 19 57kg $15 5 Explosive Jack C Maher & D Eustace John Allen 4 54kg $51 6 The Chosen One M Baker & A Forsman Damian Lane 5 54kg $61 7 Delphi A & S Freedman Damien Oliver 3 53.5kg $41 8 Ocean Billy Chris Waller Damian Thornton 13 53.5kg $101 9 Selino Chris Waller Ron Stewart 24 53.5kg $151 10 Johnny Get Angry Denis Pagan Lachlan King 22 53kg $101 11 Knights Order G Waterhouse & A Bott Daniel Stackhouse 9 53kg $201 12 Persan C Maher & D Eustace Luke Currie 11 53kg $31 13 Carif P & P Snowden Blaike McDougall 8 52.5kg $201 14 Master Of Wine Team Hawkes Fred Kersley 6 52.5kg $101 15 Pondus Robert Hickmott Rachel King 1 52.5kg $41 16 Grand Promenade C Maher & D Eustace Kerrin McEvoy 21 52kg $21 17 Miami Bound Danny O’Brien Patrick Moloney 17 52kg $151 18 Port Guillaume Ben & JD Hayes Harry Coffey 23 52kg $151 19 She’s Ideel Bjorn Baker Craig Newitt 20 52kg $101 20 Future Score Matt Cumani Dean Yendall 15 51.5kg $301 21 Tralee Rose Symon Wilde Dean Holland 12 51kg $17 22 Floating Artist C Maher & D Eustace Teo Nugent 10 50kg $18 23 Great House Chris Waller Michael Dee 7 50kg $31 24 Sir Lucan G Waterhouse & A Bott Glen Boss 18 50kg $26 2021 Melbourne Cup Odds Flemington – Race 7 Lexus Melbourne Cup Status: Open Track Rating: Good4 Weather: FINE AUS 3200m03:00pm – Tue 2nd Nov PlaceWin 1.
