Melbourne Cup live updates: Knight’s Choice winner in stunning photo finish at Flemington

An update over the Melbourne Cup runners with it being confirmed all horses have come away from the race with no ill effects.

That’s good news for Just Fine who finished last by more than 10 lengths from his nearest rival having led for most of the feature.

Fancify wins it for Joe Bowditch with Tiz Invincible and Konasanna completing the top three with favourite Aviatress finishing fourth.

Another win for the roughies as Cataggio who was the least backed horse at $43 came over the top to beat Bosustow in a win for Gai Waterhouse.

Superlicious completes the podium.

Here’s ​where very runner finished​ in this year’s race.

Robbie Dolan takes the win in his first ever ride at the Melbourne Cup after one of the best rides you’ll ever see.

​If you missed the race here’s how it happened. ​

If some are thinking Robbie Dolan looks familiar he was a former contested on The Voice making it through to the quarter-finals in 2022.

Fair to say this achievement may top that.

Buckaroo came home for a non-descript 9th place while Vauban failed again on the big stage finishing in the middle of the pack in 11th.

We’re still waiting for the full results to be confirmed but it appears trailed Trust In You home in last place.

Scratch that it’s Just Fine trailed home in last after leading the front half of the race. Hopefully he’s ok.

“He hit the line really well the other day and was unlucky not to place,” he says.

“I watched every Melbourne Cup far the last 40 years. I thought my best chance was to get him to stay the trip, and hopefully he can run home and do the quick sectionals, he can on a good track and he proved everybody wrong.

“I don’t really know what to say it’s unbelievable, I’m gonna cry again.

“It’s just incredible I decided to cut the corner once my horse spotted the gap he found another gear and he’s proved a lot of people wrong.”
