The Roar

4th November, 2014

German trained horse Protectionist has claimed the 2014 Melbourne Cup. He strode home to beat perennial bridesmaid Red Cadeaux and Who Shot Thebarman in third.

One of the pre-race favourites, Signoff, ran fourth.

Favourite Admire Rakti has unfortunately died after the race, noticeably slowing in the final straight and finishing last.
