Aspro's Melbourne Cup System

After searching back through many articles and statistics for the Melbourne Cup we have discovered this little "System" which has a pretty good strike rate for selecting the best Melbourne Cup chances each year.

Like anything "mechanical" the system it is not infallible but in the last 58 years (last 18 years published on Racing and Sports), the System has selected 35 winners (including Prince Of Penzance, Delta Blues, Brew and Jeune at great odds) as well as numerous placegetters, some at excellent odds.

The rules are quite simple and have been designed to focus on the best qualified local chances coming into the big race.

No. - Rule

Rule 1 - List any Cup acceptor placed in either the Caulfield Cup & Mackinnon Stakes (latter now irrelevant)

Rule 2 - List any Cup acceptor placed 2nd, 3rd or 4th in the Moonee Valley Gold Cup

Rule 3 - List any acceptor who was placed 1-2-3 in the Melbourne Cup at their last cup run

Rule 4 - List the Lexus Stakes winner

Rule 5 - Delete any horse whose last run in the Melbourne Cup was an unplaced run.

Rule 6 - Delete any horse who is aged 3yo or 7yo or older.

The names of the runners left are the selections and the Group which most of the Cup winners have come from over the last 58 years.

Over this period at level stakes the System has maintained a healthy return.
