Thousands to line up for Melb Cup parade

The likes of three-time Melbourne Cup winning jockeys Damien Oliver and Glenn Boss will join some of the Cup’s favourites at the annual Melbourne Cup parade.

Thousands are set to line Melbourne’s streets on Monday to catch a glimpse of the race’s trainers and riders, while a small fashions on the field contingent will walk the parade as a nod to the event’s fashionable side.

Vying for the $6.2 million prize, John O’Shea trained Hartnell is still the favourite with Ciaron Maher’s Jameka close behind.
