THE SPORT OF KINGS: Stars shine as Melbourne Cup winner returns to the Valley

HORSE RACING: JUST when you think we've seen it all, the world's best mare (arguably best horse), continues to amaze us.

Her win after hopelessly blowing the start in the Warwick Stakes is one of the most phenomenal wins that I have ever witnessed.

SOUTH of the border, Hartnell reminded punters why he is still one of the best in the land, putting away the PB Lawrence Stakes field with ease.

The first-up win was his first fresh victory in eight attempts, as the import looks set for another big preparation.

MELBOURNE Cup winner Almandin makes his return to the track, having his first run since taking out Australia's richest race last November.

The eight-year-old is having just his 13th career start, as he embarks on another Melbourne Cup campaign for master owner Lloyd Williams.
