MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The Australia-trained gelding Knight's Choice has won the 164th running of Australia's premier horse race the Melbourne Cup at odds of 80-1.

Knight's Choice has claimed this year's Melbourne Cup, beating home Warp Speed on the line to claim the coveted $8 million feature race at Flemington.The rank outsider came out on top in the 3200m event in Melbourne,

Previously, the closest Queensland may have come to claiming a Melbourne Cup winner was in 1943 when Dark Felt was born and bred on the Darling Downs before being trained to Cup glory by Victorian Ray Webster. History-maker Knight’s Choice hardly comes from a regal background.
