It is the richest 'two-mile' handicap in the world, and one of the richest turf races. Conducted annually by the Victoria Racing Club on the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Victoria, the event starts at 3pm (daylight saving time) on the first Tuesday in November.

If you get in before nominations, you can sometimes find the favourites at prices of $20 or more, giving you much more bang for your buck when punting on.
The first race was held in 1861 over two miles (3.219 km) but was shortened to 3,200 meters (1.988 mi) in 1972 when Australia adopted the metric system. This reduced the distance by 18.688 meters (61.312 ft), and Rain Lover's 1968 race record of 3:19.1 was accordingly adjusted to 3:17.9. The present record holder is the 1990 winner Kingston Rule with a time of 3:16.3.

Melbourne Cup day is the biggest day of the year for betting.
Even people who don’t usually gamble will slap down a bet or two on the race that stops the nation.
However, we know for things can get confusing when it comes to actually placing a bet.
But fear not because we have prepared an explainer of some of the most common bets so you don’t look out of place when you head to the TAB.
WIN OR PLACE
This is one of the most straightforward bets you can choose, so if you want to keep things simple go for one of these.
In this type of bet you pick a horse and are betting it will win or place in the race.
With a Win bet you simply pick the runner you think will finish first in a particular race. If your hose finishes first then you win.
So if the odds for the horse are $15 and you put on $10 for the win, you’ll get $150 back if it finishes first.
With a Place bet you choose a runner and if they finish first, second or third then you get to collect your win. You get a dividend for third place in a race with eight or more runners.
The payout is slightly less than a Win bet but you have more chance of winning.
EACH WAY
An Each Way bet is a combination of both a Win and Place bet
So if your horse comes first you collect a dividend for both the Win and Place bet.
If your runner comes second or third you only collect money for the Place bet.
QUADDIE
In this type of bet you must chose winners for four different races nominated by the TAB.
You can select any number of possible winners for each race. The number of horses you pick will determine how much you pay.
Quaddie dividends are for a $1 unit.
For example, if you wanted to pick three horses in the first leg, seven for the second, one for the third and four for the last leg then that comes to 84 possible combinations.
To receive 100 per cent of the dividend then it will cost $84 for the one unit.
TRIFECTA
Put A Bet On Melbourne Cup Winner
In this type of bet you will choose the horses that will come first, second and third.
The horses you choose must finish in the correct order for you to collect your payout.
If you want a higher chance of winning there is an option to box your Trifecta, which means you will win if your three horses come first, second and third in any order.
However, depending on how many horses you box, this option costs more than the standard $1 unit.
FIRST4
Put A Bet On Melbourne Cup
This bet is the same premise as the Trifecta but instead of picking the first three horses, you must pick the first four.
Again, in order to collect your payout your chosen horses must place first, second, third and fourth in the correct order for a $1 unit, or you can box the horses like in the Trifecta above.
QUINELLA
For this bet you choose two horses to place first and second in a particular race.
Unlike a Trifecta or First4 your horses can place in any order so long as they are the first two to cross the finish line.
EXACTA
Similar to the quinella, but you must choose the first two across the line in the correct order.

Picking which horse you like is hard enough, let alone actually betting on them.Source:Getty Images
