Melbourne Cup Sweepstake: Quick Facts

How a Melbourne Cup sweepstake works

Each person in your group is randomly assigned a horse from the field. Whoever drew the winning horse takes the prize pot. With 24 runners, a group of 24 gets one horse each; smaller groups can draw multiple horses per person. The draw is done before the race so everyone has a stake in the result from the moment the field is declared.

How many horses are in the Melbourne Cup?

The Melbourne Cup field is capped at 24 runners. The race is run on the first Tuesday of November at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, and the official field is declared in the days leading up to race day. This generator pre-loads 24 blank slots so you can fill in the confirmed runners as soon as they are announced.
