The Melbourne Cup, one of the world’s richest horse races after the Dubai World Cup, took place this morning and a Dubai horse was just crowned the winner.

Cross Counter, a Godolphin horse belonging to HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum stole the show to take home the 158th Melbourne Cup.

This is a huge coupe for the Dubai based horse stable, which will bring home a AED19million prize fund following the win!
