Vow And Declare grabs Melbourne Cup in thrilling finish
Local runner repels European challenge at Flemington
Vow And Declare foiled the strong British and Irish challenge to win the Lexus Melbourne Cup at Flemington.
Trained by Danny O’Brien and ridden by Craig Williams, Vow And Declare dug deep in the two-mile prize to fend off the Joseph O’Brien-trained Master Of Reality and Charlie Fellowes’ Prince Of Arran.
Aidan O’Brien’s Il Paradiso also finished with a flourish to take fourth.
