Aidan stayed up to watch in Ireland. “He was very pleased with it. Aidan likes the horse and we have had him now for a while. He goes everywhere with Magic Wand,” O'Brien's travelling foreman, TJ Commerford, said. “At the end of the day, he is just breathing down her throat but he got a result there. Today was great.
“[The Camelots] they stay well. I supposed the race suited him, because they went steady. It didn’t run like a true mile-and-a-half contest. The steady pace probably suited him better.” Ryan Moore positioned Hunting Horn perfectly one out and one back in the moderately run race and, coming to turn, drove him to the front and went away to win by 1¼ length from Mr Quickie, with the  Joseph O’Brien-trained Downdraft a neck back in third.

“He’s a lovely colt. He’s had very good form all the way through. He’s had some tough assignments. He’s a Camelot and they have a little bit of brilliance,” Moore said.
“He travelled very strong and they’ve got a good quicken.”
Hunting Horn was safely in the Melbourne Cup before his win and is open to a penalty to his 55kg  which, considering the opposition, might not come. He was $51 to $18 in the Melbourne Cup but a decision will be made about him starting in the next couple of days.
“I’d say it won’t bother him. He’s very straightforward. It’s a big step up in trip as well. You have a lot of things going against you. A mile-and-a-quarter is probably his ideal trip,” Commerford said of a Cup start.
“ At the same time, you don’t know until you step them up how their stamina kicks in. Aidan is quietly confident that there’s another good day in him.”

Downdraft will hope for a couple to drop out of the Melbourne Cup, and owner  part-owner Neil Werrett is keen to see him at two miles.
“It was a good race. Now we have to wait and see if he gets in,” he said.

And if Wayne hadnt got the bump he would have won.What Wayne said in the stewards you could not make it up.

Wayne Lordan (Il Paradiso): “Would’ve done with jumping a bit quicker. Didn’t get an ideal position but ran well.”

The 2019 Melbourne Cup has been won by Vow And Declare in a thrilling finish to the race that stops the nation. The first Australian horse to win the Melbourne Cup since Shocking in 2009 and another first - a Melbourne Cup triumph for both jockey Craig Williams and trainer Danny O'Brien.

Master of Reality crossed the line in second place but was relegated to fourth following an upheld protest. Vow and Declare won in a near blanket finish from Prince of Arran in second and Il Paradiso in third. Master Of Reality, who came second initially, was bumped after the stewards lodged a protest, relegating the Irish-trained horse to fourth. Ridden by Frankie Dettori, Master Of Reality had a length lead in the closing 100 metres of the race, but was swamped by the field in the final metres in one of the great finishes in the Cup's 159-year history.
With 200 metres to go, Vow And Declare looked down and out as Master Of Reality led the field home, but jockey Craig Williams bided his time and surged up the inside to come home by a head, despite copping a bump in the closing stages. Master Of Reality drifted to the left significantly in the closing stages as the field caught the five-year-old gelding.
With both horses trained by the O'Brien family — Master of Reality by son Joseph, and Il Paradiso by father Aidan — neither assisted the stewards in the protest room, but after viewing footage, the decision was upheld.

But alot of the time the stewards do not do they job.The 4.15 last thursday in clonmel was a good example of them not doing they job.
