Few Melbourne Cups can rival the events that surrounded Media Puzzle's win in 2002 with jockey Damien Oliver on his back. The Cup, now a major motion picture due for release in October 2011, is a combination of wonderful stories - the tragedy that has hit generations of Oliver's family; the love of an Irishman for a race on the other side of the world; and the burning but fruitless quest of an oil rich sheikh to win Australia's greatest race. All overwhelmed by the genius of a jockey and his desire to win, for his brother.

The Cup is a combination of wonderful stories - the tragedy that hit generations of Oliver's family; the love of an Irishman for a race on the other side of the world; and the burning but fruitless quest of an oli-rich sheikh to win Australia's greatest race. All of which were overwhelmed by the genius of a jockey and his capacity to win, for his brother. The Cup is now a major motion picture directed by Simon Wincer, and featuring popular Australian actor/comedian Stephen Curry as Damien Oliver. The movie is due for release in October. -- O'Keefe, Eric
