Three year old horse, Shamus Award has caused a boilover in the Australian $3 million Cox Plate, claiming Australia’s biggest weight for age contest to register his first race win.
Last year's Melbourne Cup runner up Fiorente held on for third in a great trial for this year's Cup after taking the race up to Shamus Award.
It was the first Cox Plate triumph for trainer Danny O'Brien, who had set the horse for the race early in the spring.
Meanwhile, the Melbourne Cup race will be held at 5pm next Tuesday.
