The origins of the Memsie Stakes

The Memsie Stakes has been run in Australia for over 110 years and has one of the richest histories out of any horse race in this proud country. The word ‘memsie’ dates back to before Jesus Christ and means ‘fine pile of rocks’. A place in Scotland is called the burial cairn of Memsie, in Aberdeenshire.

Around 1830 a gentleman by the name of John Catto left his hometown and migrated to Australia, settling in New South Wales. He made a fortune in business and fathered a child, also called John. During this time he built a house and called it ‘Memsie’.

John junior went on to become a successful businessman in his own right and owned a group of champion horses in the 1880 and 90s. The Memsie Stakes was named in his honour in 1899.

Bet on Australian racing from overseas

It largely depends on where you are based as to where you should bet on Australian races. For instance people in Asian countries like China, Malaysia and Thailand are restricted as to where they can sign-up, with many websites blocked by their respective governments. A website worth trying is Bodog88 which has a good range of Australian horse racing and greyhound racing betting, with good reviews on their deposit and withdrawal process.

The table above displays reliable bookmakers with Australian racing – and almost certainly Memsie Stakes betting – with it clearly stating whether you can access these sites.

If you are from the UK you will find many of your bookmakers like Paddy Power (who own Sportsbet in Australia), William Hill and Bet365 will have extensive markets. Some Australian bookmakers will even accept punters from the UK and many other countries.
