Dunaden has won the Melbourne Cup in perhaps the closest finish in the race’s history.
The French-trained Dunaden and English galloper Red Cadeaux settled in for a bitter war of attrition in the final 100 metres and only the bob of the heads gave Dunaden a margin on the line.
Lucas Cranach finished just over a length away in third with favourite Americain coming in fourth.
Winning jockey, Christophe Lemaire said it was still impossible to believe that he had won.
The photo finish race was watched by millions around the world and around 100,000 people at Flemington.
