The 2019 Melbourne Cup will be run on Tuesday, November 5 at 3pm AEDT.
The Charlie Appleby-trained Cross Counter is the early the +1600 favourite at Sportsbet.com.au to go back-to-back while runner-up Marmelo is the next best at +2000.
While the futures market will provide superior odds in the lead up to the race, we caution punters that any bet in an ‘all-in’ market is a risk, given that almost all the horses are yet to cement their place in the final 24-horse field.

Previous Melbourne Cup fields and odds
Sometimes, history can be a terrific guide for punters, especially in big races like the Melbourne Cup.
We’ve managed to keep some of our old records from recent runnings of the race that stops a nation. Click on the tabs below for a snap shot of how the fields and odds looked before these iterations of the Cup:
- Prince Of Penzance scored a huge upset to win the 2015 Melbourne Cup, but now the attention turns to the 2016 edition. Champion mare Winx opened as the favourite, but there is plenty of racing to come throughout the year so check in for an updated market for the race that stops a nation.
