It was another Irish-trained victory in the Lexus Melbourne Cup as 8-year-old Twilight Payment led from start to finish in the $8 million ‘race that stops a nation’ at Flemington Racecourse.
Twilight Payment (Teofilo – Dream On Buddy by Oasis Dream) became only the second horse to lead from start to finish and win the Group 1 after Might And Power, after being given a beautiful ride by Victorian jockey Jye McNeil who notched a memorable win in the Lexus Melbourne Cup at his first attempt.
