The British colt "hit back" the (Cross Counter), under McAve`s (Kerrin McEvoy), to leapfrog his opponent in the final stage to win the 158th Melbourne Cup, known as "bringing the country to a standstill."
The three-year-old foal, half a horse ahead of the Muguo (Marmelo), was the first British horse to win the Melbourne Cup in a wild dash of 90,000 spectators at the Fermington (Flemington) Racecourse, winning a 4 million-yuan prize and becoming the first British horse to win the Melbourne Cup.
Rider McKay, who won the Melbourne Cup for the third time, stood out in the final stage of his "return attack", surpassing a number of well-known foals and jockeys who could compete for the title. Praised by TV 7`s special horse racing critic (Bruce McAvaney) as a "historic" victory.
It was also the first time the foal in Godolphin, the super stable of Dubai Chief Maktoum (Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum), won the Melbourne Cup for the first time, with a large number of good foals, the UAE deputy prime minister and Dubai`s deputy prime minister. One of the world`s most important equestrian and equestrian players, he won the Melbourne Cup for 20 years.
Sheikh Maktoum, who has a fortune of $18 billion, has spent so much money on the tournament for 20 years and has been dubbed the biggest loser in the Melbourne Cup today.
Equestrian Abbott (Charlie Appleby) said after the game: "all the glory is due to Chief Maktoum."
However, there was unfortunate news after the match that Irish colt Moher Cliff (The Cliffsofmoher), who had been injured and dropped out of the race, had been arranged to "euthanize" because he could not be rescued. It is the sixth horse to be destroyed after being injured in the Melbourne Cup since 2013.
