Crazy post-race accident claims Araldo too as he's spooked by a flag and kicks a fence..

Sad when circumstances overshadow such great racing so I just thought I would mention that, for a couple of old men, they sure did show they still have it.

Congrats to the globetrotter Red Cadeaux, 9, who was 2nd and, personally, I was very happy for Precedence, also 9 and making his 63th start (and 4th Cup) who ended up going off at odds of 80/1 here and who ended up 6th in this very tough field.

Another item of note is Ryan Moore. Within a week-and-a-half, he won the Cox Plate and the Melbourne Cup. Well done for a foreign-based jockey.
