caption_attribution_description: English: German horse Protectionist, ridden by English jockey Ryan Moore about to ride out onto the track prior to the Emirates Melbourne Cup race. The camera focused on the background than on the jockey, I hadn't set my focus points to be on the centre only. It's all part of learning. I'm releasing this picture to Creative Commons; perhaps one day someone can sponsor me and I'll get media accreditation.
context_page_description: The 2014 Emirates Melbourne Cup was the 154th running of the Melbourne Cup, Australia's most prestigious Thoroughbred horse race. The race, run over 3,200 metres, was held on 4 November 2014, at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. Protectionist, ridden by Ryan Moore and trained by German Andreas Wöhler, won the race by four lengths, becoming the first German-trained winner of the Melbourne Cup. Red Cadeaux placed second and Who Shot Thebarman third, with Red Cadeaux the first horse to place second on three occasions.
  The total prize money for the race was A$6.2 million, with the winner receiving $3.6 million, as well as a solid gold trophy valued at $175,000. Hosted by the Victoria Racing Club, the Melbourne Cup was one of four major Group-1 races held at Flemington during the Spring Racing Carnival. An estimated $800 million was wagered on the race, which was attended by 100,794 people.
