Aint’nodeeldun came into the race as the almost unbackable favourite – one of the shortest-priced favourites in any Flemington race today. After Ultimate Edition raced out to a huge early lead, the rest of the chasing pack caught up easily and surpassed in the home stretch. Confrontational pushed the favourite all the way, ultimately falling short by a head, while Grizinger Lord took out third in a photo finish.
