2024 Victoria Derby Betting Markets

See below for the latest Victoria Derby 2024 betting odds complete with market links to Ladbrokes.com.au.

The Victoria Derby is one of the most popular races of the year and Victoria Derby betting is big business!

The 2,500-metre Group 1 event is held at Flemington Racecourse – home of the Melbourne Cup three days later on the first Tuesday of November – and is open to three-year-old horses. As one of the opening events of the four-day Melbourne Cup Racing Carnival, it should come as no surprise to learn that Victoria Derby betting is extremely popular and is available months in advance of race day.

The Victoria Derby was first run in 1855, and over the decades has seen the very best horses, jockeys, and trainers win the crown.

Champion thoroughbred Phar Lap won the event in 1929, while Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Damien Oliver has won the Victoria Derby on Amalfi, Elvstroem and saluted in the race’s 2014 aboard Preferment.

Victoria Derby Betting Tips

Stay tuned for our insider Victoria Derby 2024 betting tips to be detailed below the week of the race.

To Win: #2 Red Aces ($7 at time of publish) 

Great clash expected in the Derby but tipping the Moonee Valley Vase form from last weekend on Cox Plate Day to stack-up.

Punters have to go back to Efficient in 2006 to find the last horse to do the Vase – Derby double, but this talented Nick Ryan-trained Dundeel colt looks set to be the next.

He is bred to stay the Derby distance and was impressive over 2040m to return to winning form in the Vase.

Red Aces came from midfield and made-up ground there which are encouraging signs as he prepares to step up in distance and grade.

A win and a second from his two previous Flemington starts prove he likes the track, and he is drawn to get a sweet run from barrier four with Jamie Mott retaining the ride.

Think the quick back-up will suit and he’ll stay all day.

Can win.

The Danger: #1 El Castello ($4.20 at time of publish) 

You cannot bet on the VRC Derby this year and leave the deserving favourite El Castello out even after his horror outside barrier draw.

Barrier 18 is the only reason I don’t have this class horse on top.

He is going great guns winning his last four straight and is showing no signs of slowing down.

The 2500m is the query for them all but the way that Cummings’ Castelvecchio colt hit the line in winning Sydney’s Group 1 Spring Champion over 2000m last Saturday gives positive indications he’ll run out the Derby distance.

He needs to get the right luck early and the right ride by Josh Parr, not using too much early.

Was on speed last weekend so hoping he doesn’t exert himself trying to cross and leave nothing in the tank for the closing stages.

Will he like Flemington and the Melbourne way? That’s the other question but if he’s good enough he’ll win.

Deserving favourite just needs the favours in the run.

The Roughie: #6 Kingofwallstreet ($15 at time of publish) 

There’s a host of double-figure outsiders in this year’s Derby markets that tick a number of boxes for an upset without shocking.

Kingofwallstreet is one at $15 at time of publish that is doing plenty right ahead of his big test on Saturday.

The Matt Cumani-trained galloper is another son of Dundeel who looks like the 2500m distance will be to his liking.

Comes in with confidence having broking his maiden status at start number three last time out in the Group 3 Caulfield Classic (2000m) on Caulfield Cup Day.

Polanski (2013) was the last to do the Caulfield Classic / VRC Derby double and a midfield draw giving options puts this guy in line to potentially be the next.

Michael Dee continues associations, he’s got that Group 3 win on the CV now and might just take it to the next level here.

Victoria Derby Trifecta

Betting on a Victoria Derby trifecta may not be the easiest wager to pull off, but the lucrative pay-out odds should be more than enough to entice discerning punters. A trifecta is a Victoria Derby betting option that requires you to pick the first three horses over the line in order. Doubtless, this is a difficult task, but there are several Victoria Derby trifecta variations that can be used, such as a three-horse box trifecta, which allows any combination of your three chosen horses as long as they all finish in the top three.

While it is tough to pick the three winning horses in order, watching the best three-year-old stayers in lead-up races like the Group 2 Moonee Valley Vase is a top Victoria Derby betting tip to help with your punting.

Victoria Derby Quinella

Another popular Victoria Derby betting method that offers big cash pay-outs is the quinella. Producing a Victoria Derby quinella is easy to understand and quite simple to pull off if you know your horses. Quinellas are bets that are made by picking the two horses that will finish the race ahead of the rest of the pack. It doesn’t matter which horse finishes first and which second, as long as both selections cross the line in the top two.

Thanks to its popularity, you will be able to make a quinella wager at any top online bookmaker, such as Ladbrokes.com.au. Relative positions do not affect the bet as long as they are first and second.

Victoria Derby Exacta

While some Victory Derby betting fans would prefer the higher chance of a correct pick on a quinella, those looking for something more challenging – and consequently much more lucrative – will enjoy a Victoria Derby exacta. This betting type is similar to a quinella, in that it requires the bettor to pick two horses, but in an exacta the punter must also choose the correct finishing positions.

Victoria Derby First Four

For one of the toughest – and therefore most sought after – wagers in horse racing, you need look no further than a first four. Victoria Derby betting is an increasingly popular attraction, especially at online bookmakers like Ladbrokes.com.au, and exotics continue to play their part in big events.

A Victoria Derby First Four is a lucrative bet that requires the punter to correctly name and order the first four horses past the post. It is basically an extended trifecta and includes numerous variations that allow bettors to change their betting style. Whether you are interested in a box first four that allows different finishing combinations, or a standard Victoria Derby first four with the best pay-out odds, you will be able to take advantage of them at an online bookmaker.
