Welcome to our recap of Melbourne Cup day from Flemington in Melbourne, where Jamie Melham has won the race that stops a nation aboard Half Yours.

It is the first Tuesday in November, which means it is time to run the Melbourne Cup and we have all the details you need to pick a winner in the big one.

Jamie Melham became the second woman jockey to win the Melbourne Cup when guiding Half Yours to victory at Flemington. The Australian is also the first woman to claim the Melbourne Cup-Caulfield Cup double on the Tony and Calvin McEvoy-trained gelding.

Jockey Jye McNeil has been hit with a mammoth suspension following a dangerous act while riding in the Melbourne Cup. Half Yours has won the 165th Melbourne Cup with Aussie star Jamie Melham becoming the second female jockey to win the Great Race.

In an incredible achievement from horse, jockey, and trainers, the rise of Half Yours hit a meteoric peak Nov. 4 when he became only the 13th horse in history to complete the Caulfield Cup (G1)/Melbourne Cup (G1) double.

Samantha Armytage and Allison Langdon have led the charge in the fashion stakes at this year's Melbourne Cup, stepping out in standout looks worthy of the Birdcage runway.

Jacinta Allan has been torched by social media users over a photo shared on Melbourne Cup day. A photo showing the Victorian Premier watching the Cup from a mini-screen inside a public venue has not gone down well in the eyes of some.
