Adelaide Cup 2013

The Adelaide Cup, a state holiday in South Australia, see’s the top local stayers taking on their talented interstate rivals over a distance of 3200 metres.

The 2013 Adelaide Cup, held Monday the 11 of March at Morphetville, continues this tradition led by Tuscan Fire who won the Mornington Cup (2400m) last time out.

The Dan O’Sullivan trained Tuscan Fire is the current favourite, and will be looking to claim the Mornington-Adelaide Cup double, last accomplished by Capecover just three years ago (2010).

Among the talented stayers seeking to prevent Tuscan Fire from this achievement, with the full field in the Adelaide Cup Odds table below include-

Michael Kent trained You Think So winner of the Australian Night Cup (2500m) last start, Kutchinsky who won the Roy Higgins Quality (2600m) last time out and Launceston Cup second place-getter Lucky Angel.
