Winner: Knight’s Choice
He defied all the so-called experts and the odds that rose to 81-1 to return home down the infamous Flemington straight and claw his way into the lead. Robbie Dolan had the ride of a lifetime to claim just his third Group 1 victory.

3: Okita Soushi
He found the perfect line on the straightaway and took off, looking confident to win. But the extra length of the Melbourne Cup sapped his speed and he once again dueled Warp Speed before also being eclipsed by Knight’s Choice.
