Mark Zahra has ridden Without A Fight to victory in the 2023 Melbourne Cup at Flemington Racecourse. The win marked a staggering triumph for Zahra, who won last year’s Melbourne Cup aboard Gold Trip, and trainers Anthony and Sam Freedman after they all combined to win the Caulfield Cup with Without A Fight just three weeks ago.
Without A Fight wins the Melbourne Cup in extraordinary finish. Race favourite Vauban, who firmed on Monday before easing somewhat in the hours before the race, jumped from barrier three and was in the mix until late. An eight-minute delay to get the 23 runners into the gates heightened tensions but the race began smoothly, with Serpentine the early leader from Future History and Magical Lagoon. Vow And Declare, the 2019 winner, and Kalapour joined the trio for a breakaway pack.
