Im not sure if everyone on here will know what im talking about since members come from all over the world.
Whos do you think is going win the melbourne cup 2008 and other major races. Say what you will.
Melbourne Cup Day is Australia’s most famous Tuesday. At 3.00 pm AEST, on the first Tuesday in November, Australians everywhere stop for one of the world’s most famous horse races - the Melbourne Cup.
It’s a day when the nation stops whatever it’s doing to listen to the race call, or watch the race on TV. Even those who don’t usually bet, try their luck with a small wager or entry into a ‘sweep’ - a lottery in which each ticket-holder is matched with a randomly drawn horse.
