Australian jockey Ethan Brown has ridden Point Of Law, a horse previously owned by King Charles, to victory in this year's Melbourne Cup, the country's most prestigious race.

Point of Law, which was bought from the King earlier this year for an undisclosed sum, was considered an early favourite.

Brown pushed Point Of Law from the middle of the pack to take the lead with just a few hundred metres to go.
