stodge 1,912 Report post Posted October 26, 2021 Has the prize money been reduced? I thought the first prize was around AUD 6 million. The first prize comes out at £2.1 million so nothing to be sniffed at but behind the Arc de Triomphe and well behind races like the Dubai World Cup and Saudi Cup.

The stake is unchanged since it was increased in 2019. They need to 'standardise' the way they cite the stake, mind,. Add up the dosh paid to the first 12 runners on Tuesday week and yes you get the $7,750,000 Ohokaman's list refer to ... but there's then a quarter of a million bucks' worth of trophies to factor in, too.

I've heard this evening AWAY HE GOES has been scratched after suffering a tendon injury at Werribee so we're down to just two European-trained runners but a larger number of ex-European gallopers.

Yes that makes sense. I've stopped having a bet on the Melbourne Cup as Bart has gone and I have not the interest to rate the foreign ( to Australasia) horses.
