Melbourne Cup results and past winners

Below are the Melbourne Cup Results, along with analysis, and all winners from the past 151 years. 

If you look over the list of past winners some interesting facts and results stand out. Starting with Trainer Bart Cummings and his remarkable 12 Melbourne Cups! Including winning the Cup in four different decades. The 1960’s, 70’s, 90’s and 2000’s. Richard Bradfield achieved this feat between the 1890’s and 1920’s. However, a win by Bart Cummings in the 2010 Melbourne Cup would put him in elite company as the only trainer to win in five different decades.

Trainer Lee Freedman has won the Melbourne Cup in three different decades and could match the four decade feat with a win in 2012. Also not to be overlooked is that Bart Cummings, Lee Freedman and Dermot Weld each won the Melbourne Cup in different centuries.

Americain, winner of Melbourne Cup's 150th anniversary event, was seeking to become the first to win back to back Cups since the legendary Makybe Diva (2003-2005) as well as the first International stayer to ever win consecutively. To accomplish this feat, Americain had to carry 58kg. In the past fourty years only two horses have won while carrying 58kg's or heavier, Makybe Diva (2005) and Think Big (1975).

Jockey Glen Boss leads all active riders with three Melbourne Cup victories, all with Makybe Diva. Darren Beadman, Jim Cassidy and Damien Oliver have won two Melbourne Cups. 

Examing the 2010 Melbourne Cup results the following facts stand out:

- Americain entered rested coming off a convincing victory in the 2400 metre Geelong Cup, one of the better lead-up races to the Melbourne Cup, which takes place two weeks prior.

- So You Think, the 150th anniversary's favourite, had run and won the 2000 metre Mackinnon Stakes just three days before jumping off in the 3200 metre Melbourne Cup. The Melbourne Cup was the first race above 2040 metres in So You Think's young but brilliant career.

- Maluckyday, who missed the 2011 Melbourne Cup racing season due to a virus, won the 2500 metre Lexus Stakes which was also held just three days before the Cup.

- Aside from Americain, Manighar who placed seventh and Precedence who placed eighth, are the highest finishing 2010 horses that ran in the 2011 Melbourne Cup.

During the 2010 Melbourne Cup Americain came on strong and passed fading favourite So You Think in the last 250 metres to secure the victory. Finishing in second place with a strong run was the gutsy stayer Maluckyday. Maluckyday was the favourite to place second going in, ultimately finishing in the spot expected.

So You Think ran a fast start and was leading with 250 metres until the post, when the gallant galloper appeared to slow, but still held on to finish third.

The final 2010 results were as follows:
