The Melbourne Cup has been run for another year, with Almandin the first horse past the post. Here is the complete finishing order for the race that stops the nation.
The race was a thriller, with Almandin and Heartbreak City breaking away from the rest of the field down the straight, before the Kerrin McEvoy-jockeyed Almandin edged out Heartbreak City by a nose.
Pre-race favourite Hartnell ran third, with Qewy finishing in fourth.
Rose of Virginia brought up the rear, coming in last a massive 99.9 lengths behind Almandin.
