<h2>Sportsbet’s Kick for Cash Caulfield Guineas Recap</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>Sportsbet gave racegoers at Sportsbet Caulfield Guineas the chance to win a share in $100,000 by recreating John Aloisi’s unforgettable 2005 penalty at a trackside Kick for Cash activation at Caulfield Racecourse.</p>
<p>Marking almost 20 years since the iconic spot-kick against Uruguay that sealed Australia’s place at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Aloisi himself was on hand to meet fans and witness attempts first-hand.</p>
<p>The celebration also featured a celebrity penalty challenge, with UFC star Alexander Volkanovski joining AFL and AFLW talent Nick Watson, Jack Higgins, Tom Barrass, Ruby Schleicher and Sarah Rowe to test their technique in front of a packed crowd.</p>
<p>Socceroos legend Aloisi had this to say: “two decades on, that night in 2005 remains unforgettable. I’m grateful to Sportsbet for bringing the moment back to life and sharing it with everyone here.”</p>
<p>“With the World Cup on the horizon, I can’t wait to see how the next golden generation of Socceroos performs and today is a great way to build momentum for what promises to be an exciting period for Australian football.”</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Kick for Cash Set to Return for the Caulfield Cup</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>The fun isn’t over yet, with the Kick for Cash set to return this weekend for the Caulfield Cup.</p>
<p>That’s right, punters at Sportsbet’s Caulfield Cup Day, will also have the chance to channel their inner-Aloisi and potentially share in $100,000.</p>
<p>Yuta Kobayashi, Head of Brand, Advertising, and PR at Sportsbet, hailed the success of the activation at the Guineas, while looking forward to running it back at the Cup this weekend.</p>
<p>“Sportsbet is always looking to innovate through our partnership with the Melbourne Racing Club, and with the 2026 World Cup not far away this was the perfect moment to bring football to Caulfield.”</p>
<p>“It was fantastic to have John Aloisi join the roster of global sporting icons we’ve hosted here, including Rob Gronkowski, Scottie Pippen and Alexander ‘Volk’ Volkanovski.”</p>
<p>“Our Kick for Cash activation is one of our biggest yet at 12 metres high, and fans will have another chance at the Sportsbet Caulfield Cup to win a share of $100,000.”</p>
<p>While Aloisi won’t be able to make it back to Caulfield this weekend for the cup, AFL cult hero, all round funnyman and Sportsbet ambassador<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/feed/dan-gorringe-tips"> Dan Gorringe</a> will be on hand to oversee proceedings.</p>
