Punters are keen to back previous Melbourne Cup winner Vow And Declare in Tuesday’s feature at Flemington.
Vow And Declare won the 2019 edition of the race and punters think he is a good chance of making it a second Melbourne Cup win four years later with the well raced stayer firming from $31 on Saturday into his current price of $21 on Sunday afternoon with online betting sites.
The Danny O’Brien Australian-bred gelding is set to match the impressive feat of Doriemus, a beloved racehorse who won his first Melbourne Cup in 1995 and went on to compete in three subsequent editions of the race.
Vow And Declare will join the ranks of remarkable Cup veterans who, like Doriemus, made multiple appearances, such as Zipping and Precedence, who ran in the race four times. UK raider Red Cadeaux holds the record for the most Melbourne Cup appearances, with five, although none of these horses managed to secure another victory.
O’Brien attributes Vow And Declare’s longevity to the dedication of his team and the patient approach they adopted with the horse when he was young. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is the fact that the horse endured a season-ending tendon injury, highlighting his resilience and the exceptional care provided by O’Brien and his team.
