Are you torn as to where to put your money for the Melbourne Cup?

If you want a safe bet, cup favourite Yucatan could be the one for you, paying a cool $4.60 to win, and $2.10 to place.

If you’re feeling a tad patriotic, why not back a horse contender with Kiwi connections? Zacada will net you a whopping $151 for the win, while Sir Charles Road could bring you $101 with a win.

Meanwhile, Irish horse Best Solution is currently at number one.

You can catch the Melbourne Cup race at 5pm today live on FBC TV and FBC Sports.
