List of Melbourne Cup placings

The Melbourne Cup[1] is Australia's major Thoroughbred horse race. Each year internationally bred or owned horses compete in the race alongside local entrants. Since 1882 New Zealand bred horses have won 40 Melbourne Cups, British bred horses have won five cups, US bred horses four, Irish horses two and one Japanese and German bred horse have each won the Cup. The Melbourne Cup is the richest handicap race in the world.[2]

This is a list of the first four placings (from 2006) in the Melbourne Cup, a Thoroughbred horse race at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia.
