Not many people know a lot about horse racing but luckily everyone knows everything there is to know about Aussie Rules Football. So Dockerland has put together the footy fan's guide to the Melbourne cup to make it easy to pick a winner. The Dockers romped home last year at good odds with Jonathan Brown running second and the Irish Raider, Setanta O'halpin sneaking in for third. Collingwood are firming for favouritism in 2008, with late money expected for Rhys Palmer.
