Can Sir Lucan win the 2021 Melbourne Cup ?


As we have seen from previous Melbourne Cups , anybody is able to win the Melbourne Cup with the right run and the right jockey on their back. With veteran Glen Boss being known for riding Makybe Diva to three consecutive Melbourne Cups from 2003 to 2005 and being given the set weight of 50kg for the race there will be every chance he can claim his fourth Melbourne Cup with Sir Lucan. With Sir Lucan’s current form and being his first proper race in Flemington and coming up against 23 other Melbourne Cup horses it will be a tough time for him to be finishing the race in first and punters seem to think the same opening at $21 odds with the online bookmakers and slowly drifting out as the hours go on.
