The field and barrier draw has been decided for the Group I Melbourne Cup on Tuesday with favourite, and sole Australian bred entrant, Half Yours drawing in barrier eight.

With those same tearaway tactics that have made her one of Australian racing’s fan favourites in recent years, Trelawney Stud-bred mare Pride Of Jenni ran her rivals off their feet again at Flemington on Saturday and became the first two-time winner of the Gr.1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m).
