MELBOURNE: Delta Blues edged Japanese stablemate Pop Rock to win the 3,200m Melbourne Cup on Tuesday and give trainer Katsuhiko Sumii a one-two finish in Australia's most prestigious horse race.
"Very happy, very happy," said jockey Yasunari Iwata in broken English after he crossed the finish line on six-year-old Delta Blues, just ahead of second favourite Pop Rock, ridden by Australian jockey Damien Oliver.
Australian entry Maybe Better (Chris Munce up) was third. Zipping, ridden by Glen Boss, who won the Cup for three straight years aboard the now-retired Makybe Diva from 2003-2005, was fourth.
More than 100,000 spectators watched the A$5 million (US$3.85 million) race at Flemington, which held its first Melbourne Cup in 1861. — AP
