For many punters, trying to land the Trifecta is not only the highlight of Melbourne Cup Day, but of Horse Racing in general.
Arguably no bet type is more popular on the first Tuesday of November of every year, as everyone from casual racegoers to veteran horse whisperers attempt to correctly guess the first three runners past the post in the Melbourne Cup.
Obviously, everyone is always curious as to what the Trifecta is paying. But as a Trifecta is an exotic bet, it is tied to a tote.
Tote odds are constantly fluctuating in accordance with the amount of money being wagered. As a result, final potential dividends are only known once the betting market has closed, which coincides with the start of the race.
In addition to potential payouts, punters are always curious about previous Trifectas, and which three horses ran 1st, 2nd and 3rd and which gates they jumped from.
That’s why we’ve compiled this list of the last 10 Melbourne Cup Trifecta results, to shine a light on any potential patterns history might allude to ahead of the 2025 edition of the Flemington feature.
