Controversially, two-time defending winner Archer was not allowed to take his place in the race after his nomination arrived in Melbourne one day late. The nomination arrived on a public holiday in Melbourne: Separation or Succession day to celebrate Victoria separating from New South Wales. As a result, The Victoria Turf Club's offices were closed for the holiday and Archer's nomination was rejected for being "too late". Because of this, Sydney trainers boycotted the race leaving only horses trained by Melbourne trainers. The resulting seven horse field is the lowest in the race's history. Archer would have carried 11st 4 lb (71 kg).The Race That Stops A Nation https://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/the-race-that-st-o-ps-a-nation onlymelbourne.com.au 25 June 2021 By contrast, the winner, Banker carried 5st 4 lb (33.5 kg), the lightest weight carried by a winner and third place, Rose of Denmark carried 5st 9 lb (36 kg).Melbourne Cup, 1863 https://rogersouthernresearch.wordpress.com/2017/10/19/melbourne-cup-1863/ rogersouthernresearch 20 October 2017 25 June 2021Rolfe Costa Winners of the Melbourne Cup 2008 Red Dog Fitzroy, Australia 9781742035093 11–12Melbourne Cup Winners - 1861-1880 https://www.vrc.com.au/racing/melbourne-cup-winners-honour-roll/1861-1880/ Victoria Racing Club 5 November 2025 Banker had made the initial running, although Aruma would be in front at the first turn. Rose of Denmark held the advantage for a short while, as both Shillelagh and Falcon found the pace too fast for their liking. Banker sped up to join Rose of Denmark, Aruma and Barwon as the field turned for home, with Musidora making a move. Banker held the inside running down the Flemington straight with a clear lead, eventually winning by a length ahead of Musidora. Rose Of Denmark was later disqualified as her jockey had not weighed in, although record books still show her as the third placegetter.
