The Caulfield Cup First Four is the most lucrative of the exotic bets, but also the most difficult to pick correctly. In a Caulfield Cup First Four you predict the first four runners to finish the race, in their exact order of arrival. This is clearly a tall order, but the substantial payout makes it all worthwhile.
The winning Caulfield Cup First Four in 2020 was:
1st – Verry Elleegant
2nd – Anthony Van Dyck
3rd – The Chosen One
4th – Prince Of Arran
Note that you do need to pick the horses in exact order, as even one tiny glitch – like The Chosen One running fourth and Prince Of Arran getting up for third in the example above – would make your Caulfield Cup First Four a losing bet.
The Caulfield Cup First Four offers the highest payout of all the exotic bets. For every $1 you invest in your Caulfield Cup First Four you stand to win literally thousands of dollars. The exact rate of payout depends on the overall value of the race but for a race as popular as the Caulfield Cup the First Four payout could even send you on an around the world vacation.
Picking the first four runners across the line may be a challenge, but you can do it with a measure of skill and luck. Choosing their correct order of arrival can make or break your Caulfield Cup First Four, though. If you would like to maximise your chances of a winning Caulfield Cup First Four, consider placing a Caulfield Cup First Four box bet. This bet will cover all combinations in which your favourite four runners can cross the line – meaning as long as you picked the right horses, you are home safe.
