The youngest horse in the race, Rekindling has won this year's Melbourne Cup on Tuesday at Flemington Racecourse.

The four-year-old stallion from Great Britain, trained by 24-year-old Joseph O'Brien, started from barrier four and edged out Johannes Vermeer and Max Dynamite.

It's the second Melbourne Cup win by jockey Corey Brown, who rode Shocking in 2009.
