Horse Racing Melbourne Cup 2015 Result Winner
101,015 punters came through the gates in the end, a bumper result on Australian racing’s biggest day.
Prince of Penzance : Michelle Payne’s historic Melbourne Cup win atop Prince of Penzance. It was the largest priced horse to jump out of the gates today in fact; a $101 prayer. One Sportsbet punter threw $1000 at the winner at those odds and picked up $101,00 as a result, which is a decent day’s work. Another had $500 at $81, taking a cool $40,500 for a speculative punt.
MSS Security Sprint : Stephen Brown, one of Flemington’s very own, wins the MSS Security Sprint with Sea Lord.
The James Boags Symphony Stakes : This one’s a 1800 race and the third last of the day. Jacquinot Bay leads early from Awesome Rock, Garud and Sadler’s Lake. Jacquinot Bay maintains that advantage as they round the final bend but Malice makes a late charge and then Awesome Rock (with Stephen Baster at the helm) too and the latter strides out to win it by a length with a photo finish for the placings, which go to Malice and Garud.
