Melbourne Cup results for Arapaho
The 2022 Melbourne Cup will be Arapaho’s first appearance in the Melbourne Cup.
Can Arapaho win The Cup?
To be fair to the Bjorn Baker-trained Arapaho, we have seen worse $101 shots going around in the Melbourne Cup. He managed to beat the dominant Moonee Valley Gold Cup winner Francesco Guardi five runs back at Newcastle in the Group 3 Premiers Cup on August 20 and has been racing in decent enough form in Sydney to suggests a first-half finish is not beyond him. He produced the best last 600m of the ATC St Leger Stakes when chasing home Stockman and was arguably doing his best work late. He will beat a few of these home on recent form.
