Shocking Takes the 2009 Emirates Melbourne Cup!
Corey Brown rides Shocking past the winning post to take the 149th Emirates Melbourne Cup
Corey Brown has steered the Mark Kavanagh-trained Shocking to victory in the 149th Emirates Melbourne Cup.
It is the first taste of victory in the iconic 3200m race for both jockey and trainer and both were outwardly jubilant after the historic win.
The Group 1 Emirates Melbourne Cup is one of the world’s most famous and best-regarded thoroughbred races and the riches prize in Australian sport.
Shocking had been sitting fourth on most betting markets behind Bart Cumming’s 2008 champion, Viewed and the Jake Stephens-trained Alcopop.
The $5.65 million Emirates Melbourne Cup is a truly spectacular event and the focal point of the Melbourne Cup Carnival. While most of Australia stops to watch or listen to the race, there’s nothing like being there amongst the 100,000-plus throng to experience this truly unique event.
