What sex horse usually wins the Melbourne Cup?

What sex horse has the most wins in Melbourne Cup?

With the 2024 Melbourne Cup set to unfold at 3pm AEDT on November 5, a lot of different betting strategies are being used to work out who will take out the win in the prestigious event.

One key method that may help encourage your decision is does the sex of a horse have any effect on if it can win a Melbourne Cup or not?

Statistics show that either Entires (Horses and Stallions) or Geldings lead the way by a significant number.

Based on previous results, it would make it nearly a given to miss any Colt, Mare or Filly as none of them have won a Melbourne Cup since Makybe Diva in 2005, but then Verry Elleegant won as a six-year-old mare last year.

If this is your way of narrowing down the field the runner-by-runner betting guide will help eliminate some horses to help you decide who you will be cheering on down the Flemington straight.
