As the 2024 Melbourne Cup looms on the horizon, we delve into various strategies for predicting the victor in the renowned “race that stops the nation.”

When it comes to Melbourne Cup betting, data and statistics wield a considerable influence, perhaps more so than in any other horse race globally.

Among the often-discussed statistics, the barrier draw stands out, as it holds the power to either bolster or hinder the chances of a potential Melbourne Cup champion.

Since 1958, barriers have played a role in this prestigious race, yet for our analysis, we will concentrate on data from 1999 onward due to the availability of reliable sources.
