Melbourne Cup Field 2015 – Congratulations to Emily Hunter, winner of the Melbourne Cup Fashion Competition. There are so many women who look amazing in their racing outfits, so it’s always difficult for the judges to choose just one winner. There was a great mix of bespoke and ready-to-wear.
Emily stood out in a very elegant navy dress (made by her mom), pink lace (Lisa Schaeffer Millinery) and yellow heels. He will take on one of the three places in the Victorian final to face the winner of Derby Day and Oaks Day.

Emily got her outfit inspiration from Pinterest. He took the design to his mother, Angela, who built it in two days. Angela couldn’t be there when her daughter won on Melbourne Cup day, but she was there to see Emily win the Victorian final and then the national final. It’s very clear how close this family is!

Here are pictures of Emily’s thrilling victory at the Myer Fashions on Field National Final as she shocked Flemington to win the 2015 Melbourne Cup alongside Oaks DayRANK outsider Michelle Payne, Prince of Penzance.
Payne made history as the first female jockey to win the race that stopped the nation.
The Darren Weir-trained horse, who can be had for more than $70 before the race, finished ahead of Max Dynamite and Criterion in third, with the favorite going to Paris fourth.
Fashion Of The Field At The Melbourne Cup Day At Taree 2015 To 2016
It takes a lot of horses to name the top weight in the Melbourne Cup, and there’s no doubting the Snow Angel class. He was next best to Brown Panther in the Yorkshire Cup before beating a comfortable field that included Red Cadow in the Hardwicke Stakes. He ran well at fifth in the Caulfield Cup and will be ready to do his best here, but there are concerns about his ability to run a strong two miles (3200m).
Since moving to the stables of David Hayes and Tom Dabernig, Criterion has gone from a good three-year-old to one of Australia’s top racehorses. His biggest win to date came in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes over 2,000m in the autumn, with mixed results before years of overseas campaigns in Asia and Europe. On his return to Australia he first beat Caulfield Cup winner Mongolia Khan in Group 1 and finished second behind Winx in the Cox Plate. He remains untested over Melbourne Cup distance but is in excellent form and it’s hard to fault his form.
Few horses have the ability to handle a $3 million race as a handicap, but that’s exactly what Fame Game did in the Caulfield Cup. The Japanese-trained star made his Australian debut with an encouraging sixth place finish for Tuesday’s “grand final”. The run followed two impressive performances in Japan, winning the Group 3 Diamond Stakes over 3400m before an eye-catching run in the Group 1 Tenno Sho, which caught the attention of the Australian racing community. His price is a little low, but there is no doubt that he is the horse to win.
The well-traveled horse arrived at the stables of Lee and Anthony Freedman after competing in many top races abroad, including the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in France. He was a two-time Group 1 champion at 2,400m in Germany, but the Freedmans had the Cup on their mind all along. Bart ran second at Cummings over 2520m and finished third in the Caulfield Cup. It’s going to be all day, it’s going to be a ripe cherry, and Lee Friedman knows what it means to win five trophies in this race.
Melbourne Cup Winners List: Every Melbourne Cup Winner Since 2000
The British holder has been talked about quite a bit during the Cup run, but like the international warriors, it would be foolish to write him off completely. He beat rivals Quest For More and Trip for Paris over two miles in the Group 2 Goodwood Cup in July but shocked Max Dynamite in his last attempt. But this run was on soft ground and the whispers of the track work are the hope for the youngster to be beaten on dry land on Tuesday.
When the youngster beat Japanese superstar To The World at the Autumn Carnival, many hailed him as a world-class galloper. He hasn’t greeted the umpire since before four runs and looks to be a bit below his best this training. That probably set him up for this race from the start, and his final start at this trip in the Sydney Cup was a complete bust. He looks to have a better chance if it rains and he finishes fifth in the Cox Plate. Not hopeless.
Hocko Brave looks the underdog of the two Japanese warriors in the Melbourne Cup and is easily matched by Fame Game, who has won him at home in both the Tenno Sho and Caulfield Cup. He hasn’t won a race in over two years, but that can happen very easily when you’re only racing at the highest level. While others see his measurements on paper, it is impossible to leave the Japanese in such an event, which climbs from 2,400 meters to 3,200 meters. Do not refuse.
Champion Irish trainer Willie Mullins has shown that he is well and truly in the race with two impressive performances since his return to the flat, Max Dynamite, after a year on the jumps. Two back he chased home Quest For More at this trip, leaving Trip to Paris and Big Orange in the Lonsdale Cup Part 2 at his last start. To begin with, being on the other side of the world is always a question, but if he wasn’t good enough, he wouldn’t be here and Frnaki Dettori wouldn’t be going. It seems to be a serious threat.
The 2015 Melbourne Cup: A Journey Of The Senses
This horse is growing his fifth leg in Australia. The 2014 Melbourne Cup runner-up has impressed the Australian crowd by finishing second in three of his last four starts in the race. The horse has clearly never cared for a leading race and traveled well, finishing second in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes and the Dubai World Cup. Whether he can continue his miraculous run in the Cup as a 10-year-old is debatable, but his racing attitude and ability to command the trip are undeniable. Do not exclude it from anything exotic.
His trainer, Ed Dunlop, said he was Britain’s best visitor, but a trip to Paris somehow cost him $31 in the Caulfield Cup, where he ran fastest in the last 200 meters of the race behind Khan of Mongolia. Won Group 1 Gold Cup at Ascot over 4,023m and third in Goodwood Cup behind Big Orange and Quest For More. He looks like he has plenty of ability, but he’ll want to keep it dry come race time. He will have many fans.
The Chris Waller-trained horse has another shot at the Cup after finishing third in 2014. He’s been pretty good since then and hasn’t had much luck in this training as he’s been caught at key moments in a couple of big races. Despite losing just four places on this trip and two wins from four at Flemington, he can’t be overlooked. Whether he’s peaked is questionable, but he looks primed for another big run.
Out of Saeed Bin Surar’s Godolphin stable in the UK, the gelding is no mean feat, having won six of his 11 career starts in England, Dubai and France. If he gains market support as the race approaches, it will depend on confidence in his talent and strong consistent pressure as he shows nothing near the 3200m trip. He has won three races over 2400m but has failed over 2650m and could be challenged on Tuesday over Cup contender Mount Athos.
Melbourne Cup History [1861 2022 Timeline]
Guy Waterhouse claimed everyone should win the 2014 Melbourne Cup, but punters who took him at his word saw their ticket turned into confetti when their horse scratched after a poor run in the Caulfield Cup. He proved himself by winning the 2014 Sydney Cup and winning the Bendigo Cup in his last start.
