Punters win big on the Melbourne Cup 2022

Gold Trip helped several TAB customers snare six-figure payouts after racing away to win the Lexus Melbourne Cup this afternoon at Flemington.

While the majority of TAB customers money was riding on Deauville Legend, Gold Trip had his fair share of support at the eachway odds for trainers Ciaron Maher & Dave Eustace.

Roughies Emissary and High Emocean filled the minors, adding plenty of spice to the exotics.

One Victorian TAB customer nailed the First4 for an impressive 166% – returning them a whopping $171,301 after boxing the first four horses across the line. In NSW, a handful of customers are now $100,000+ richer after snaring their own shares in the First4 as well (see bets below).

“The Melbourne Cup always throws up these fantastic stories of punters nailing big wins on small outlays,” TAB’s Andrew Georgiou said.

One Futures punter is now nearly $110,000 richer after having a decent bet on Gold Trip on October 25. They outlaid $4,100 x $7,750 e/w @ $17/$5 to collect $108,450.

Meanwhile, Gold Trip has opened favourite for the 2023 Melbourne Cup as an $18 chance along with today’s beaten fav, Deauville Legend.
