A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 5.3 per cent of Australians aged 18+ placed bets on horse races at least once in any given four-week period in the year to September 2014. This compares with 8.3 per cent in the year to September 2004. However, betting activity increases significantly around Melbourne Cup time, although the proportion of Australians who watch the race on TV has fallen from 39 per cent to 31.1 per cent in the last 10 years
