Kingswood won the Caulfield Cup at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne on Saturday, October 17, ABC News, The Age and 7NEWS reported. The win was overshadowed by a fall in which the mare Ohope Wins was fatally hurt, ABC News, The Age and 7NEWS reported.

Half Yours, last year's Melbourne Cup winner, fell in the closing stages of the race after contact in the pack, ABC News and The Age reported. Ohope Wins then tripped over him, ABC News and The Age reported.

Ohope Wins was put down by the on-course vet, Racing Victoria stewards said, ABC News and The Age reported. "The mare was unable to be saved due to the nature of the injury sustained," Racing Victoria said, ABC News reported.

Ohope Wins was trained by Chris Waller and owned by Yulong, ABC News, The Age and 7NEWS reported. 7NEWS reported that she had won two Group 1 races. Yulong and Waller said in a statement that "she was brave" and "she was loved," ABC News, The Age and 7NEWS reported.

Jockeys Mark Zahra, on Half Yours, and Jye McNeil, on Ohope Wins, were both taken to hospital, ABC News, The Age and 7NEWS reported. The Age reported that both escaped serious injury.

Half Yours had cuts but otherwise looked OK, trainer Tony McEvoy said, ABC News and 7NEWS reported. "That was terrible to watch," McEvoy said, ABC News reported.

Stewards will hold an inquiry into the fall, ABC News and The Age reported. The Age reported that the inquiry was adjourned to a later date.

Kingswood was trained by Gavin Bedggood, ABC News, The Age and 7NEWS reported. 7NEWS reported that Kingswood won by half a length from Saint George, and that the race was worth 6 million Australian dollars. The Age also reported the record 6 million dollar purse.

"It's great to be vindicated," Bedggood said, 7NEWS reported.
