The 2015 Emirates Melbourne Cup was the 155th running of the Melbourne Cup, a prestigious Australian Thoroughbred horse race. The race, run over {{convert|3200|m|mi|3}}, was held on 3 November 2015 at Melbourne's Flemington Racecourse. The date is a public holiday in the state of Victoria. The final field for the race was declared on 31 October.[1] The total prize money for the race was A$6.2 million, the same as the previous year.[2]

The winner was Prince of Penzance, ridden by Michelle Payne, who became the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup. Max Dynamite ran second and Criterion third.[3]

Background

Prior to the race, racehorse advocacy groups and animal rights activists attempted to highlight the number of racehorse deaths due to injuries sustained during a race.[4] The death of two horses in Melbourne Cup 2014 race[5] has called into question the use of the whip and whether it results in unnecessary harm to the animal.[6] Racing Australia has since amended its rules governing the use of the whip, effective from 1 December 2015.[7]

Race summary

{{expand section|date=November 2015}}Prince of Penzance, ridden by jockey Michelle Payne, won the race. Max Dynamite ran second and Criterion third.[3]

Prince of Penzance pulled ahead of the front-runners only around 100m from the finish of the race,[8] surprising many, including Payne.[9] Payne's technique focused on galloping, due to her belief that doing so was key to winning.[9]

Fatalities

Three-time cup runner-up Red Cadeaux did not finish,[10] suffering a suspected fracture in the left fetlock,[11] a joint above the hoof similar to an ankle in humans.[12] The gelding was taken to a veterinary clinic for surgery.[13] Red Cadeaux's trainer initially announced that the horse would likely recover, but retired from racing.[13] However, on 21 November, Red Cadeaux was euthanised, due to complications from the injury.[14][15]
