0:15

morning. This is your

0:17

town. This is your station.

0:19

This is Whitley. Good

0:22

morning. It was every bit as

0:24

cold as was forecast, but perhaps

0:26

not quite as wet as feared

0:28

at Flemington yesterday, although

0:30

Although

0:30

those who set up the fortress of

0:33

umbrellas to shelter against the

0:35

rain blowing in sideways might have

0:37

a slightly differing view. a

0:39

moment of ingenuity out on the front

0:41

lawn. The Melbourne cap weaved its

0:43

magic on a memorable afternoon and

0:45

confirmed the new phase the race

0:47

has entered. for me. The

0:49

winner is a brave and classy

0:51

horse. Gold trip joins

0:54

some legends who have carried

0:56

the number one saddlecloth to glory.

0:58

Carbine, fire lap, Peter

1:00

Pan, comic court, rising

1:02

fast, MacKiebe Deaver,

1:05

and now Gold Tripped. It's a rare

1:07

and mighty feat. he's only the eleventh

1:10

to do so. Goldtrip is something

1:12

of a contradiction of stats and facts

1:14

because it's Ninety nine years

1:17

since a horse had registered just his second

1:19

career when in the cup, but there was never any

1:21

underestimating his class. The

1:23

French import took the old world approach and

1:26

ran in all three majors. And

1:28

his prize for Gallantry came in

1:30

the greatest of them all.

1:33

A fourth place

1:34

getter from the Octat triumph,

1:37

purpose bought for

1:38

Australia's richest races. That's

1:40

a snapshot of the modern Melbourne cup. and

1:43

the stature of the race rivals in

1:45

his success. But for

1:47

me, it was the play skitters

1:49

that showed that a balance has

1:51

been restored in the force

1:53

of the Cup. The Jalan Cup went around

1:55

second after looming and the

1:57

bendigo cup, Victor, storm

1:59

time for third.

2:01

Now, when

2:02

the cup was awash with raiders, These

2:05

were the races I think that were openly

2:07

discriminated against, where once

2:10

they'd had a ride of passage toward

2:12

the first Tuesday in November, they were deemed

2:15

so often inferior to anything

2:17

that took place on a European track

2:19

and only rated when a radar

2:21

raced off with the prize. It

2:24

was the worst of a cultural cringe.

2:26

It's crucial that these cups from

2:29

all parts of Australia. The towns

2:31

that stage a race meeting and have

2:33

a half day public holiday and crowned

2:35

a champion it's crucial that they see

2:37

themselves represented in the great two

2:39

miler. That's the origins of

2:41

the race. That's what made it unique,

2:44

the quest that any horse in

2:46

the colony could win it. Jalong

2:48

and Bennego should burst with pride

2:50

today that their champions ran so

2:52

well at Flemington. We've

2:54

had two running of the Melbourne cap under

2:56

the Titerate Veterinary regime with

2:59

radically reduced numbers of

3:01

international visitors. Both

3:03

have been safe. Both have

3:05

been won by the classiest horse

3:07

in the field carrying bigger weights.

3:10

than had been the trend over recent

3:12

decades. The race hasn't been

3:14

diminished by that reduction in

3:16

international raiders. It has

3:18

in fact soared.

3:22

Gold trip moves up text message

3:24

from Noble Richard. two hundred and fifty

3:26

minutes to go. If it's everything

3:28

done, go trip a hundred and

3:30

fifty minutes to go wondering about getting

3:32

time. Aviseria tried very,

3:34

very, very hard. But God Trip is great.

3:36

A hundred to go. Coming to the half of

3:38

the series. God Trip is cover

3:41

them the moment. Go on

3:43

trip in a real estate contest

3:45

for the engines, two weeks

3:47

in a series. third, higher motion.

3:49

Don't go better motion. It's still

3:51

growing. It's unbelievable. I'm

3:54

What a day. I've got to the front of it. It's a

3:56

bit Zoom and

3:56

it. He's awesome when you go from. I really

3:58

wanna go from, you know. Don't give

3:59

him a chance to think about it and get

4:02

that last hundred off. He can just piece

4:04

of it, no one can leave me, you know. And,

4:06

oh, it's just a nice and excellent choice when you cross

4:08

the line. Nah. I think it's really sucky yet,

4:10

but phenomenal. You

4:13

know? You know, I sent a dad

4:15

when I was about twelve that we're

4:17

gonna go to New Zealand and buy a

4:19

New Zealand horse to win the cup.

4:22

there's been a few hurdles that yeah.

4:24

It's great to have everyone here and

4:26

just such a special moment. For

4:28

me, it's just a great great

4:30

honor really just to be working with these offices

4:33

and working for Kieran and, you know,

4:35

it's not lost to me what a privilege it

4:37

is and We were very, very worried

4:39

that last hundred when MS3 is coming,

4:41

I thought it was gonna be the repeat of the Coolfield

4:43

Cup, but the horse really

4:45

dug in and Mark gave him the most beautiful

4:47

ride. He waited and waited and waited and

4:49

there was kicked at the right time and

4:51

thank god he did. David Eustace

4:53

rounds out that Melbourne Cup package. He's

4:55

gonna join me shortly, and the Melbourne

4:57

Cup means test is coming up. When making

4:59

the double chicken deluxe snackers.

5:01

We wanted to improve on the perfect combo

5:03

of tender Aussie chicken with cheese, tomato

5:05

and aioli. So, we

5:07

doubled it. Chicken and Macas together

5:09

and love it. Available

5:12

after ten thirty AM for a limited time only.
