A then record crowd of 115,000 watched a chaotic edition of the Melbourne Cup. The race had 32 starters, 13 of which were winners of major races, including 1921 race winner Sister Olive as well as the 1922 Caulfield Cup and VRC Derby winner Whittier. On race day The Cypher was backed from 12/1 to 6/1 favourite. With five furlongs left in the race, Stare fell and brought down Polynesian, while further on, Double Bezique broke a fetlock. The race was fought out with a neck-and-neck battle up the Flemington straight between The Cypher and the well-backed James Scobie trained King Ingoda who won the Hotham Handicap on Derby Day. King Ingoda edged out The Cypher for the win with Mufli finished two lengths back in third. [1]
