Jamie Melham on Half Yours becomes only the second woman to win Melbourne Cup

  • Melham: This is why we get up out of bed every morning at 4 a.m., it’s tough, it’s not all glorious and perfect as everyone can see sometimes
  • She joined Michelle Payne, who famously steered 100-1 outsider Prince of Penzance to glory in 2015, as the only women to win the race
  • A cultural institution in Australia, the Melbourne Cup has been run on the first Tuesday of November since 1876 and is considered so important it is a public holiday in its host state of Victoria
