However, many believe anything can happen on race day according to the Melbourne Cup history.

Since its inception in 1861 the Melbourne Cup has been Australia’s great race.

Six of the past 10 Cups have gone abroad and millions of dollars of prize money with them.

You can watch the Melbourne Cup LIVE on FBC Sports and FBC TV channels.

The coverage will begin at 2:30pm with the main race starting at 4pm.
