OFFICIAL MELBOURNE CUP RESULTS
1. Vow and Declare $11.60, $3.90 (tote)
2. Prince of Arran $5
3. Il Paradiso $7
4. Master of Reality
Master of reality was sent to 4th place by a controversial decision.
A protest against Melbourne Cup second place-getter Master of Reality has been upheld.
The protest came from the connections of fourth-placed Il Paradiso, claiming interference from Master of Reality, the Irish stallion ridden by Frankie Dettori.
Third-placed Prince of Arran ($5) was promoted to second and Il Paradiso elevated to third, with a tote dividend of $7. Master of Reality had a $7.60 placing dividend before being relegated to fourth.
The prize money for Master of Reality owner Lloyd Williams, a six-time Cup winner, dropped from $1.1 million to $350,000 by going from second to fourth place - a hefty $750,000 haircut.
