My best mates dad won $2000 on kiwi and he shouted us to dinner at the Cobb n Co. For a 80s 9 year old that was my first taste of gourmet eating. Steak n Chips a traffic light drink and chocolate sundae. Thanks Kiwi for the greatest Melbourne Cup win ever.
I remember being a kid and going over to a neighbor's place to ask if their kids can play with me back in sth akld and Ivy the grandma (Maori) listening to the radio screaming Go Kiwi Go Kiwi Go Kiwi jumping up and down and yahoo-ing at the end!💯👍 She was soooo Happy!😁
Could watch that 100 times without getting bored. Nice to hear another commentator's call too (my 2nd favourite after "..and Kiwi's flying, might beat them all") - thanks for posting.
To this day, I don't know how Kiwi did it, my shivers, and goose bumps are as pronounced today as the day of his crossing the line to the accompaniment of the Donegal call.
woah...as a kid I thought kiwi came down the outside. this is not how I remember it at all. wow. thru the middle then to the outside !!!!. that's no man's land stuck in the middle
@@kelbatt7729 how about the jockey? A young jim cassidy holding his nerve like a veteran ,tailed off almost a furlong off the leader throughout the middle part of the race...not many would've been capable of that....
Peter Donegan did not call many Cups , Ray Warren had a crack around this time , Brian Markovic called a Cup 88 ? 89 ? , Ken Howard , jack Styring are some of the non regular Cup callers

Can't stop watching....It's just absolutely stunning. The name Kiwi...says it all.
Unbelievable what a legend. 30 lengths off the lead still last on the home turn, incredible!! makes me proud to be a kiwi.

Nice 👌
I was there that day, backed Kiwi, and without doubt the greatest Melbourne Cup win ever & still.

I forget to mention she backed Kiwi!👍
Remember watching this race in a pub in king's Cross Sydney with a mother Maori mate.
Just watched the movie Kiwi omg just as exciting now as it was back in 1983. Kiwi was an epic horse!
Out of all the melbourne cups I 💕 this one the most
I love this ..... talk about the early crow? Noble Comment and Mr Jazz settle down to fight it out ..... I guess Kiwi never got the memo?

That's the keeper, that call.
Of all the old footage this has the best commentary. You can hear his voice as he sees Kiwi come through.
The greatest come from behind I've seen
It’s like someone pressed Fast Forward on Kiwi and WOOSH
Who would ever have thought it possible - and through the middle of a tightly packed field: never give up...
Classic, remember it well. Always stood out as one of the greatest Melbourne Cup wins.

1:45 "And last of all is Kiwi and he must be 30 lengths off the lead"
JESUS! This is one Hell of a race.
Listening to Jim Cassidy being interviewed if he wanted to come and be based in Melbourne. A few months later ended up based in Sydney
Love Pete's call....wonderful race and ride...fantastic
What a great run

👍!💯💖
Yeah me neither
FLOWN HOME
Yea unherd of a horse coming from last in a Melbourne cup big field a mighty performance
Who said kiwi’s cant fly!!
Not bad
Sprouting wings.
I've been watching this for years. It's right up there with America's cup fiasco, if not better.
Co-incidently, they both happened in the same year.
There aren't any comments because words cannot describe that win
Is it the greatest horse race win of all time? It was so good the callerr didnt see until it was almost over

What a runnn haha
I rode kiwi that day
No mate, we all did!
Sounds like radio commentary
Yes doubt it would have been on TV - Clem DIMSEY may have been on Channel 10 TEN then
Besides this being an amazing run, how was Kiwi 9-1 and only paying $4.90? What a rip
I think the $4.90 was for a 50c unit . therefore about right for 9-1

Terrible call. Out of all the calls of this race it is by far the worst
That's why this fellow did not call many Cups nearly as bad as Ray WARREN who was a wieful racecaller !
@@rubiconnz1754 maybe I am being a bit tough but he did call Kiwi very late
@@stephenlancaster7038 Yes it was not the best call
