What is it like to win a Melbourne Cup?

25 October 2025 • Written by VRC

Anticipation builds as a new chapter in Melbourne Cup history draws near.

For the trainers, jockeys, and owners who have already tasted glory, it’s a time to reflect on what it meant to claim Australia’s greatest prize – the elation, the disbelief, the enduring pride. And once again, the familiar question lingers in the air: who will be next to join them? The contenders are ready, the excitement is rising, and the stage is set for another unforgettable running of the race that stops a nation.
