Horse Racing

Sport of Kings 

I think its fair to say horse racing is probably One of the worlds oldest sports, in England accounts of horse racing and races can be found dating back to as early as 1140. The Romans are known to have raced chariots for entertainment, these days its a large industry turning over Millions. A lot of this revenue is derived from betting but race horses can amass huge prize money for their owners and a lot can be made from the breeding of such winners.

21st century horse racing is a tremendously popular sport, part of this popularity is due to the betting opportunities horse racing provides. It can be very challenging to pick a winner from the horses running in a race, one popular racing event is the Melbourne Cup, the maximum number of horses allowed to run in this race is I believe 24 making the chance of picking a winner and Melbourne Cup Odds better than the U.K’s Grand National which has a maximum of 40 Runners.

First run in 1861 the Melbourne Cup is considered the greatest 3200 metre handicap horse race in the world, this makes Melbourne Cup Betting very exciting. The Melbourne Cup race Carnival starts on the Second Tuesday of November every year, if you’ve got some cash spare and want some excitement why not have a Bet on Melbourne Cup.
