I remember well watching this race live and I thought for sure that Red Cadeaux had just nipped Dunaden by a whisker watching them hit the wire in real time.

[@WorldHorseRacing]

Such an exciting finish!

Two great Ill fated champions

Red Cadeaux was ill-fated, while Dunaden had at least some period of stud career, which could be regarded as his retirement.

Red Cadeaux was poorly treated. Ran second in 3 Melbourne Cups , then greedy owners decided to race him again in Melbourne Cup and he broke down with injury and they destroyed him. He deserved better. Should have retired him .

Watched it live and couldn't forget the name I guess he won the Cox plate next coming from so wide

Its probably the only race they could show from the start. All the others, a horse dies mid race.
