All eyes will
be on the Turnbull Stakes at Flemington tomorrow (Saturday Oct 4, 2008) when
the Melbourne Cup betting
market is sure to get a shake-up. The Aussie's latest superstar, Weekend Hussler, plans to land his 8th Group 1 race in the half million dollar event. It won't be easy with last year's Melbourne Cup winner, Efficient, in the line-up as well as the Caulfield Cup winner of last season Master O'Reilly. Amazingly Weekend Hussler will be tackling a trip as far as 2000 metres (1m 2f) for the first time tomorrow. Even more amazingly all the long-distance Cup races, culminating in the Melbourne Cup are very much on his agenda according to his ebullient trainer Ross McDonald. It does not help that Weekend Hussler has drawn the graveyard stall 13 tomorrow, the outside of the entire field. However that hasn't dented the optimism of connections. Now a four-year-old, Weekend Hussler won six of his Group 1 races last year. Other high class performers out to get the scalp of Weekend Hussler in the Turnbull Stakes tomorrow include the queen of the Sydney circuit, Tuesday Joy as well as the improving Guillotine. other challengers with Group 1 victories to their name include Pompeii Ruler, Zarita and the very talented Maldivian. Weekend Hussler will surely have his work cut out but whatever happens the event is sure to have an impact on the Melbourne Cup online betting market. Article posted: 3/10/2008
