Rekindling took the Melbourne Cup from Johannes Vermeer, wearing him down deep in the stretch.
Interestingly it was no surprise an O’Brien trained horse won a major race, but it was a surprise that young Joseph O’Brien just 18 months into his training career beat a horse trained by his Dad Aidan who needs no introduction.

Humidor, second to Winx in the Cox Plate last out, finished 19th.
