Melbourne Cup Results
Posted by Nikki Webber on November 3rd, 2009
For racing fans the long awaited and much celebrated Melbourne Cup got underway at 5pm today with five New Zealand trained horses in this year’s field, including Daffodil, Capecover, Harris Tweed, Gallions Reach and Spin Around.
While 2008 Melbourne Cup winner Viewed shared the favourite’s tag along with Alcopop, the results were these:
Shocking took the win, paying $9.90, while Crime Scene took second place paying $10.80 and Mourilyan took third, paying $8.20.
No New Zealand trained horse has won the Cup since the Shiela Laxon trained Etheral won in 2001.
