1995 Melbourne Cup

The 1995 Melbourne Cup was a two-mile handicap horse race which took place on Tuesday, 7 November 1995. The race was run over 3,200 metres (1.988 mi), at Flemington Racecourse.

The race was won by the New Zealand bred gelding, Doriemus. Doriemus at 10/1 defeated the 3 year old colt, Nothin' Leica Dane and the 1993 Melbourne Cup winner, Vintage Crop. The previous year's winners, Jeune and Wayne Harris, competed again but could only manage 15th place.

Doreimus who had previously won the Caulfield Cup was sired by Norman Pentaquad (USA) (by Riverman) out of the dam Golden Woods by Zamazaan (FR).

Doriemus was the eighth horse to win the Cups double. In 1997 he ran second to Might and Power in both Cups.

This was the first Melbourne Cup win for Damien Oliver.

The Irish-bred Double Trigger who finished 17th was the top weight in the race carrying 60.5 kgs, ahead of the two previous Melbourne Cup winners Vintage Crop (3rd) and Jeune (15th) on 59kg.
