Mad Rush for the wrong horse

The 2008 Melbourne Cup has been raced and won by Bart Cummings horse, Viewed. But what about all the build up for Mad Rush? After all the media's push in promoting Mad Rush as the favourite, it came nowhere near finishing first.

So yes, that means a big payout for those who did put money on Viewed. But who did?

The first Tuesday in November is the one day of the year where everybody pretends to be a 'racing guru'. The only problem is that a lot of us tend to jump on the bandwagon a bit too often.
