The 1983 Melbourne Cup was won by the New Zealand racehorse Kiwi, ridden by jockey Jim Cassidy and trained by Ewen S. Lupton. Kiwi famously came from last position at the turn with a massive late sprint to win by a length and three quarters.
A extra set will also be rostered on the evening 8150 Ballarat pass for punters returning home from Flemington.
