History

Cup Day Parade 2009 Lord and Lady Stilton were front runners for the amazing as always Cup Day Parade. A joy to be a part of. The 149th Melbourne Cup Carnival lived up to its reputation of being one of the world’s greatest sporting, social and cultural events. As the four unparalleled days of thoroughbred racing unfolded, some fairytale stories were written, some new champions emerged and many more dreams were left unrealised. Now you can relive all the drama, glamour and excitement of the Carnival with the official 149th Melbourne Cup Carnival DVD. The Mark Kavanagh-trained Shocking put in an amazing staying performance to defy a wide run and the late challenge of European raider Crime Scene to win the 2009 Melbourne Cup. Ridden by Corey Brown, the winner of the Lexus Stakes on Saturday was well-supported on course.
