Knight’s Choice has won Australia’s popular Melbourne Cup, in a considerably close contest which went over to the last few yards.
It was European rider Robbie Dolan’s first win in the race, but it was also New Zealand horse trainer Sheila Laxon’s following.
Warp Speed came next, and Okita Soushi came next, one of the field’s report four female jockeys.
Knight’s Choice had a better chance of winning the race, but Buckaroo came home hours before the end line to claim the victory.
More to adopt.
