Blockbuster Melbourne Cup Final this Saturday! 

Get set for a cracking 2023 Melbourne Cup this Saturday as Australia’s top greyhounds tear around Sandown Park chasing the $650,000 major prize!

Star chaser Big Energy scorched his heat in a mind-blowing time last week. Trainer Jackie Greenough has the son of Aussie Infrared in frightening form and primed to achieve the elusive Shootout-Cup double. Can he join the immortals?

Idolize is also hitting her straps for master trainer Peter Presutto, a gutsy win away from notching up career victory number 27. She’ll need to be at her tenacious best to overcome a tricky box 6 draw though!

And Jason Thompson will unleash the beast that is Tim Zoo from the wide trap 7 after he demolished rivals in his heat. If he repeats that performance in the final – look out! 

With an even spread of chances across the field, this Minecraft Melbourne Cup promises edge-of-your-seat entertainment. Don’t miss it!

Check out the odds and specials for all the thrills and spills of Cup night with the VBA bookies. But as always at the track, remember to gamble responsibly.

We’ll see you trackside this Saturday! Go you good things!
