In a stunning upset, Robbie Dolan piloted 90-1 outsider Knight’s Choice to an exhilarating victory in the Lexus Melbourne Cup at Flemington. Battling against favored contenders like Sea King and Onesmoothoperator, Knight’s Choice edged out the Japanese runner Warp Speed in a thrilling finish. Dolan, who previously garnered attention on the TV show The Voice, expressed disbelief at his win, while trainers Sheila Laxon and John Symons celebrated their second Melbourne Cup victory. The race showcased the unpredictability of horse racing, as several top European entries failed to perform as expected.
