The 2011 Melbourne Cup Results saw the Christophe Lemaire-trained international Dunaden ($8.50) go back-to-back for the French raiders after the 2010 Melbourne Cup results had Americain on top. Dunaden beat home fellow Northern Hemisphere-trained visitor Red Cadeaux, who would go on to finish second in the ‘race that stops a nation’ twice more in 2013 and 2014. It was the closest Melbourne Cup win in history with a photo result taking minutes to officially be announced. Finishing off the 2011 Melbourne Cup trifecta in third was the Anthony Freedman-trained Lucas Cranach.
