Etah James
The Melbourne Cup will be run on the first Tuesday in November despite all the COVID19 chaos, but without the huge crowds that normally grace Flemington on Cup Day.
The one thing that hasn’t changed about the 2020 Melbourne Cup is the horses.
Once again The Cup has brought together and elite field of Melbourne Cup horses to contest the two mile race for $7.75 Million.

Etah James (22)




8YO Brown Mare
Billy Egan (52.5kg)
Ciaron Maher & David Eustace
Etah James is a genuinely dour stayer, who was a winner of the Sydney Cup over this trip in April at a big price. She’s had only two runs this prep, finishing a long way off the winner in the Metropolitan, before improving in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup last time out. She’ll be handy to the speed from barrier 22, but we cannot see her in the finish here. She won the Sydney Cup with 51kg, and rises to 52.5kg for a much, much tougher race.
Can Etah James win The Cup?
Maybe if she started before Race 1 on Tuesday.
