Shocking has won the 2009 Melbourne Cup.
Corey Brown rode the horse to win ahead of Crime Scene and Mourilyan.
Favourites Alcopop and Viewed failed to finish in the top pack. Warringah was last.
On a windy Melbourne afternoon the Cup crowd was entertained earlier by Olivia Newton-John singing “Magic” and the National Anthem.
The Melbourne Cup is traditionally one of the biggest events on the television sporting calendar, last year attracting 2.15m viewers.
woohoo i had 20 on him as well.
i was yelling verry loudly when shocking hit the front. gee you would have heard me on marz
lol timmy
Absolutely.
I won too…. yay for me lol.
2.15 million watched last year but it has to be closer to like 6-7 million in reality when you consider the amount of people in pubs, clubs, office boardrooms that all watch and dont get counetd. It would be great to know exactly how many but that would be impossible.
Do they ever give horses normal names… like Trevor?
I won too… Woo Hoo. Just wish i’d put more on him.
