American wins 150th Melbourne Cup.

Question

Someone tell me the details of 150th Melbourne Cup.

Answer 1

The Australian Group 1 Melbourne Cup celebrated its 150th running at Flemington on a rainy Tuesday. The wet two-mile turf race was run by 18 horses three years or older, with So You Think lined up as the pre-race odds-on 2-1 favourite.
