If there’s one thing that counts in a race, it’s the result. Melbourne Cup is upon us today and the anticipation is growing for jockeys, trainers and punters alike. Jockeys need to be able to ride well, trainers need to be able to give proper instruction and punters need to make sure they don’t lose their bet! A previous Melbourne Cup winner can be a great guide to picking next year’s successful wager. There have been many successful consecutive wins in the Melbourne Cup series over the years such as Makaybe Diva in 2003, 2004 and 2005, to Archer, in 1861 and 1862. Can Americain win again this year making it two in a row?
