Warrnambool-trained galloper Moudre is gathering support to win the Melbourne Cup, reports TAB Sportsbet. Rated $101, the one time Caulfield Cup favorite in 2010, has been the best backed runner in Cup betting today. "We took one bet of $1,000 at $101 but they didn't bother having the bet each-way," says TAB Sportsbet's Matt Jenkins. Moudre was flying in 2010 but failed to gain a start in the race after finishing fourth to Maluckyday (second in the Melbourne Cup) in the Lexus Stakes.
