Twilight Payment
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.

Twilight Payment (12)
Ireland
8YO Bay Horse
Jye McNeil (55.5kg)
Joseph O’Brien
Finished 11th in this race last year when sent out as a despised outsider under Hugh Bowman. Jye McNeil takes the ride this year, and from barrier 12, we imagine to see the pair lead the field up along the back. His form since this race last year has been excellent, winning twice, including an 8L romping over Master Of Reality at The Curragh. He rises 0.5kg from last year, and is now an eight-year-old, so we have to question whether he’ll be sharp enough.
Can Twilight Payment win The Cup?
His form in the last six months suggests he can, but his age and racing pattern makes it hard for us to see him winning.
