The Melbourne Cup is watched by millions every year and given the world wide interest in the race there are many who will watch replays due to the time difference in other parts of the world.
Watching the replay of the Melbourne Cup is vital is assessing how each of the 24 runners ran. With so many horses in the $8 million race its impossible to judge a horses run just by watching the race once.
