In similar spirit to the bets on the Formula 1 season, thought i'd ask if anyone wanted to see if they'd make the right choices here. Or what the aussies on this board have placed their bets on.

Melbourne Cup's (horses) is really big in Australia (media, media, media).

I've picked "win" for Delzao, Distinction, Mumool and Media Puzzle.

Should warn you i've NEVER won ANYTHING at Melbourne Cup before. Probably best to just pick against my horses

I know nothing about this event. Is there a site where a "noob" can get the necessary information?

Sounds like fun ... but I'm too "ig'nant" to bet properly.
