Faster Than Lightning
“The record for the fastest time was achieved by Kingston Rule in 1990, when he ran the 3200 metres in 3 minutes 16.3 seconds.
The biggest winning margin is 8 lengths—this happened in 1862 (by Archer) and in 1968 (by Rain Lover).
Four horses have won the Cup twice—Archer (1861, 1862), Peter Pan (1932, 1934), Rain Lover (1968, 1969) and Think Big (1974, 1975).
The longest odds for a winner were 100-1 for The Pearl in 1871 and for Wotan in 1936. This means that in 100 races the horse was expected ...to win once.
The shortest odds for a winner were for Phar Lap in 1930.MoreLess
