As the 2023 Melbourne Cup approaches, we delve into various approaches to predict the winner of the renowned “race that stops the nation.”
Melbourne Cup betting is arguably more influenced by historical data and statistics than any other horse race globally.
One of the commonly referenced statistics centers around the barrier draw, as it can significantly influence the chances of a potential Melbourne Cup victor.
For our analysis, we will primarily focus on data from 1999 onwards, as reliable sources are limited for the period prior to that, despite barriers being introduced in the race as far back as 1958.
