Looking forward to watching the Melbourne Cup for the first time since Phar Lap.
Yesss! I just stumbled on this while channel surfing. Lovely course but because of the time change couldn’t stay awake for the big race. Very interesting to see what goes on in other countries. So there are a “Majors” tour- Melbourne cup , Ky Derby, Arc de Triomphe and what else? Forgive my spelling. By the way, who won?
Maybe the Pegasus World Cup? And some of the Royal Ascot races?
Rekindling won the Melbourne Cup.
It’s on YouTube here if you want to watch it –

Am amazing achievement by 24 year old Joseph O’Brien to train the winner the Big Cup. Beating his famous father into second place to boot.
Max Dynamite finished 3rd to make it an Irish trained 1-2-3.

I caught on TVG that post time was 30+ minutes away and then completely spaced it out when I watched something else…
Bad WMW
Thanks for sharing the video clip. What a crowd running after the start! And thrilling finish. So Joseph too tall to ride now.
And they know how to do it right in Australia. The whole country gets swept up.
Thanks for the link!
I must say, I’m always very impressed with the professional race callers when there are so many horses running in one race… That can’t be easy.
