One of the most emotional victories in the history of the Melbourne Cup saw Irish horse Media Puzzle win convincingly. It was emotional because Media Puzzle's jockey Damien Oliver lost his brother in a track incident a week before the cup. Media Puzzle beat home Mr Prudent and Beekeeper.

Many thanks to the Melbourne Cup Club

  • "My Boy!"

    Whoever says Damien is no hero can go jump... He is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and he has gone through more than the average person and has been able to pick himself up and continue his life!

    He's a hero and a champion in my books... :)

  • Man that would of been such a easy First 4 to get

  • This was such a dominant win, great effort all round. I wasn't going for Media Puzzle, but if my pick wasn't going to win it, I was hoping he would.

  • he's a rat, sure he won a horse race, but what the police are investigating him for , that cannot be forgiven. He's no hero!!

  • I remember watching this at school, screaming at the top of my lungs for Media Puzzle. I cried when he won it.

  • cheers for the reply mate...belfast ,ireland here.....check out my namesake.....istabraq.....a jumps horse....a legend in these parts

  • simple factor of breeding irishbraq

    europe still focuses songly on stayers and middle distance horses whereas australia has shifted focus almost entirely into sprinter milers

    its why your stayers typically do well in our longer races and our sprinters carve up your sprint races

  • loved an irish horse takin ur prize,but ur sprinters are amazin up this neck

  • The poor guy.

    But he won for his brother.And im sure his brother would have been proud to have a brother like Damien.

    btw,does anyone have footage of the accident?I am yet to see it and im interested because everyone has different versions of what happened?Please tell me if you have because i would like to set myself straight!!LOL
