Derby day was known as a day of domination and drop-outs as the final field for Tuesday's Melbourne Cup took shape. (Pictured: Shocking)
While the Kiwi colt Lion Tamer relished the soft ground and savaged his rivals in the Victory Derby, so too did Australia's best horse So You Think with an effortless win in the MacKinnon Stakes.
In the Lexus Stakes Maluckyday grabbed his place in the Cup field with an impressive win and will contest Tuesday's race while a host of runners fell by the wayside and out of Cup contention.
The final field for the Melbourne Cup has been declared with barriers drawn, Caulfield Cup winner Descarado drawing the inside while last year's winner Shocking drawn the outside.
