▶The wrap up

The final day of the 2012 Melbourne Cup Carnival delivered not only beautiful sunny skies and warm weather but also high quality racing, fashion & entertainment.

Early rains turned into sunshine as 74, 546 racegoers enjoyed the clear skies at Flemington on Saturday 10 November 2012 for the family-focused day of Emirates Stakes Day, the finale in ‘the celebration that stops a nation™'.

Paul Beshara is relishing life as a Group 1-winning trainer after Happy Trails won today’s Emirates Stakes (1600m) at Flemington.

Happy Trails’ conditioning proved crucial in a driving finish. After being headed by Secret Admirer inside the 200m, he fought back to claim the Sydney mare’s measure and then survived a late charge from Fawkner.

Happy Trails held on to defeat favourite Fawkner by a short-half-head with Secret Admirer a short head back third. The victory provided Damien Oliver with his first Emirates Stakes success and the champion jockey was thrilled to break his duck in such a big race for Beshara.

Mental heads to Dubai a Group 1 winner after claiming a deserved elite-level success in today’s $1 million Patinack Farm Classic at Flemington.

Mental used his explosive turn of foot to make it seven wins from 12 starts in the 1200-metre event. Jockey Kerrin McEvoy settled the son of Lonhro midfield and produced him around 450m from home, after which Mental did the rest.

The $7 chance quickly reeled in Sea Siren, who raced on the speed and took over at the 400m and although John O’Shea’s three-time Group 1 winner fought on tenaciously, three quarters of a length was as close as she could get on the line. Hallowell Belle was the best of the closers, running into third, a further three lengths away.

McEvoy was thrilled to guide Mental to a farewell win and said the effort emphasised his versatility.
Overall, Emirates Stakes Day was a fantastic end to the 2012 Melbourne Cup Carnival, a day that will be remembered as a fabulous day of racing for all the family.
