Big Philou, an Australian racehorse with promising odds in the Melbourne Cup, became infamous for a scandal that rocked the racing world. Just minutes before the race, Big Philou was scratched due to a sudden illness, later found to be caused by a malicious case of doping. The horse had been a favourite to win, and the last-minute scratching not only cost owners, bettors, and fans but also spurred an investigation into race-fixing and doping within Australian horse racing.
Join Holly & Matthew as they dive into the mystery of Big Philou’s last-minute Melbourne Cup removal, the aftermath of the scandal, and how it changed the course of Australian racing history.
