Europeans are returning to school, going to work, heading out for drinks and even cramming onto planes for summer holidays, despite rising coronavirus cases.Unemployment is soaring as businesses struggle to survive, but some owners are adapting and going from strength to strength during the stage 4 lockdown.

Those colours also saw success for Williams with Efficient (2007) and What A Nuisance (1985).Black (33) and gold or yellow (30) are the next most successful colours worn by jockeys during the Cup's history.There's a fair bit of blue looking at this year's field, headed by the favourite Admire Rakti.The famous green and gold stripes of Bart Cummings have saluted in the Cup four times - Red Handed 1967, Think Big 1974, Think Big (with red sleeves) 1975, and Let's Elope 1991.The Cups king has also had success with Saintly (1996) and Viewed (2008), who carried the black and white checks, yellow sleeves belonging to good friend Dato Tan Chin Nam, who part-owns Precedence in this year's Cup.But Precedence will carry the green colours of co-owner Sir Patrick Hogan for the first time.The master of Cambridge Stud – the home of champion sires Sir Tristram and Zabeel – has bred seven Cup winners but never had a runner in his colours until now.As far as names go, the Melbourne Cup is typically a two-horse race between those whose name comprises one word and two words.The onesies are shading it at the moment and in the past 20 years have scored 12 times. Because jockeys nowadays are physically bigger, the lowest weight they can safely ride has been raised.At the other end of the scale, 19 horses have carried the equivalent of 58kg or more to victory, the most recent being three-time champ Makybe Diva (2005).Phar Lap, whose name ranks alongside Bradman in Australian sporting history, is regarded as the greatest Cup winner of all time.He contested the Cup three times, finishing third as a three-year-old in 1929 before famously winning under 62.5 kilograms in 1930.Then thanks to his dominance, Phar Lap was asked to carry 10 stone 10 pounds (68kg) in the 1931 Cup - the highest weight ever carried in the Melbourne Cup.The Red Terror could only finish eighth under the massive impost, conceding 24.5 kilograms to the winner White Nose.The last horse to carry at least 58.5kg and win was Think Big in 1975 – a 39-year record Admire Rakti is looking to break this year.The majority of winners start at odds of between $4 and $10, but thanks to the size of the field there's plenty of value to be found up to $20.

finalised 2019 melbourne cup finishing order . Wide barriers may suit those runners that like to settle back in the field, while front-runners can expend less energy early in the race if they have an inside draw.Records show barriers 5 and 11 lead the way in the Melbourne Cup, so that's a positive sign for stable-mates Royal Diamond and Mutual Regard this year.Gate 18 looks likely to remain the only barrier (of those still in use) with no success, as outsider Precedence will jump from there.Rain Lover started from barrier 24 in 1968 but it had little effect on him, winning by eight lengths in then-record time.He was trained by former coal miner Mick Robins, who only obtained his training licence three months before the Cup.But he had a champion stayer on his hands, who then repeated the effort a year later under 60.5 kilograms.Rain Lover is one of only five horses to win the Cup more than once.The colour of thoroughbreds is determined by genetics and falls into different categories.The common colour of bay is the most successful when it comes to Melbourne Cup winners, claiming 65 wins - or 42 per cent of past Cups.Brown horses (37) and chestnut (34) are battling it out for next best.Many punters have a soft spot for greys, which have won only six Cups in all and this year are represented by 2013 Caulfield Cup winner Fawkner.The grey Subzero etched his name in the history books by winning the Cup in 1992, but he became a true racing icon after his retirement.The placid "Subbie" worked as a clerk of the course horse and also made appearances at charity events and schools, often giving young kids a chance to ride a Melbourne Cup winner.At 26 years of age and suffering from arthritis, Subzero and his best mate Graham Salisbury still show up in public from time to time.Earlier this year, he became the first horse to actually be present when inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame.In the battle of the sexes, there is one undisputed winner and the men simply rule the Cup.In more than 150 runnings, the race has been won by a female on only 16 occasions - 13 mares (4yo+) and three fillies (3yo).

Alone in a room, quarantining with COVID-19, I understood that although loneliness isn't a symptom of the virus it has become one of its cruellest side-effects One of two runners trained by former top jockey Johnny Murtagh, Royal Diamond is one of three horses in 2014 attempting to become the first nine-year-old to win the Melbourne Cup. Red Cadeaux finished second for a third time. If two horses have the same weight, then the horses can be listed in alphabetical order.The field size for the Cup has been restricted to 24 horses for a number of years now, but as many as 39 horses have contested the race (1890) and as few as seven (1863).Horses carrying the 4 and 12 saddlecloths have most wins with 11 apiece, so the pressure is on Red Cadeaux and Who Shot Thebarman to keep their heads in front.Lucky number 7 (Seismos) isn't living up to that description with just two wins, but 18 (Au Revoir) can only boast just one win.Carbine was the greatest horse of his generation and one of five inaugural inductees into the Racing Hall of Fame, the so-called immortals.The New Zealand-bred galloper, nicknamed "Old Jack", won 33 of 43 starts, including the Melbourne Cup in 1890.The Cup that year holds the record of most runners with 39, and Carbine lumped the massive weight of 10 stone 5 pounds (65.7 kilograms) to victory.Carbine became a major success as a sire, and more than half of the Cup winners from 1914 to 1978 are his descendants.Everyone has a favourite colour.
