Viewed, Alcopop Share Melbourne Cup Favoritism

Viewed and Alcopop shared favoritism for this year's Melbourne Cup after the runners were announced after the last race on Victoria Derby Day.

Viewed is last year's Melbourne Cup and this year's Caulfield Cup winner. The less-credentialed gelding, Alcopop, has won his last four starts and is becoming a sentimental choice in Tuesday's big race.
