Melbourne Cup: According to www.races.com.au the annual 3.2-kilometre thoroughbred classic was won in 1914 by Kingsburgh (jockey G. Meddick), ahead of Sir Alwynton (A. Wood) and Moonbria (W. Callinan). The odds for the winner were 20-1. Incredibly, Kingsburgh’s owner, L.K Mackinnon, bet on his own horse to win and claimed more than 14,000 British Pounds as a result.
