It was very nearly a dead heat in the 2011 Melbourne Cup, but the photo showed Dunaden just edging out Red Cadeux for the victory. For the second year in a row, a Frenchman (Christophe Lemaire) rode the winner. Third place was claimed by Lucas Cranach, with the favourite, Americain, finishing in fourth place. Sportsbet.com.au paid out to fourth, meaning anybody who tipped Americain for a place were paid out. Bringing up the rear was Modun.
