The New Zealand owned horse Who Shot Thebarman has been scratched from the Melbourne Cup.
Who Shot Thebarman was due to line-up in his fourth consecutive Melbourne Cup but trainer Chris Waller says the horse has a high temperature.
Who Shot Thebarman finished third in the Cup in 2014, 11th in 2015 and fifth last year.
No nine‑year‑old horse has won the Melbourne Cup, which was first held in 1861.
He is the second New Zealand horse ruled out of the Cup.
The line-up has now been reduced to 23.
The Melbourne Cup Race will start at 5pm tomorrow.
