(FILES) Photo taken on November 7, 2008 shows fans celebrating in the huge crowd as Japanese horse Delta Blues wins the five million Australan dollar (3.75 million USD) Melbourne Cup horse race. SportBusiness International magazine this year voted it "Ultimate Sports City" for the second consecutive year, ahead of 24 other world cities including London, Paris, Los Angeles, Tokyo and arch-rival Sydney. Melbourne's line up of major fixtures was cited as a reason for the award -- it is home to the Australian Open Grand Slam tennis, a Formula One Grand Prix, the Melbourne Cup horse race, cricket's Boxing Day Test and the Australian Rules Grand Final. In recent years the Victoria state capital has also hosted the Commonwealth Games and the FINA world swimming championships, building on a legacy that stretches back to the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.
