The results for the 2022 Melbourne Cup are in!
Punters favourite horse to win the coveted Melbourne Cup was Gold Trip, ridden by Mark Zahra, closely followed by Duais and Knights Order.
Gold Trip
Gold Trip was flagged by betters as the crowd favourite early in the day.
The classy horse was imported by Europe last year where he’d gained an impressive track record by placing fourth in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
He was ridden by Mark Zahra, 57.5kg, and trained by Ciaron Maher and Dave Eustace.
The Melbourne Cup was the horse’s longest ever race.
Duais
Duais was ridden by Hugh Bowman, 55.5kg, and trained by Edward Cummings, the grandson of former Melbourne Cup legend Bart Cummings.
The accomplished horse won back-to-back G1s last autumn in the 2,000m Australian Cup and the 2,400m Tancred.
Knights Order
Ridden by Tim Clark, 55.5kg, and trained by racing legend Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, Knights Order as punters’ third favourite horse.
The horse has an impressive history in similar distance races to the Melbourne Cup, placing first in the 3,200m Sydney Cup this April by two lengths.
Montefilia
Montefilia was ridden by Jason Collett, 55.5kg, and was looking impressive in the build up to the Melbourne Cup.
Trained by David Payne, the horse had fallen flat in the last Caulfield Cup but began working its way up in the build up for the race.
Many punters decided to take a chance and bet on Montefilia in the hopes he’d step up to the plate.
