150th Melbourne Cup even better »

2009 Melbourne Cup Winner

Mark Kavanagh's spring of despair turned full circle when Shocking gave the trainer his first Melbourne Cup, defying a determined challenge from the Europeans and leaving Bart Cummings out in the cold. After settling in the second half of the field, Brown drove Shocking ($10) to the lead inside the final 200 metres of the gruelling 3200 metre journey but Godolphin's Crime Scene ($41) made a fight of it. Eventually, Shocking got the upper hand and went on to win by three-quarters of a length with Mourilyan ($21) bursting out of the pack to run third, another 1-1/2 lengths away.
