Efficient wins Melbourne Cup 2007 | Australia Melbourne Cup 2008 and Racing News

Efficient has won the 2007 Melbourne Cup, at Flemington racecourse.

Only 21 horses started the big race after Gallic, The Fuzz and Maybe Better were all scratched and one of the favourites, Miss Finland was pulled out by her trainer.

Mahler made most of the early running alongside with Tungsten Strike, but as the horses came into Flemington’s famous straight, a late surge from Efficient edged out the Cup’s second favourite Purple Moon.

Winning jockey, Michael Rodd said “I just won the Melbourne cup. I just won the cup, I can’t believe it this is just unbelievable to do it on this little horse,” he said.

Purple Moon was second and Mahler third.
