The biggest race on the Australian sporting calendar has been run for 2019, with the Melbourne Cup finishing order decided.
There was better weather than expected in the Victorian capital, with the track ultimately rated a Soft 5. It still proved to be something of a slow race, but with an incredibly tight finish we’ll remember for a long time.

While Master of Reality crossed the line second in a photo finish, a protest lodged by the stewards has been upheld. Master of Reality was found to have interfered with Il Paradiso on the final turn and was relegated to fourth.
As such, Prince of Arran officially moves up to second.
