Fashion lights up the Melbourne Cup in Australia

Jamie Melham became only the second woman jockey to win the US$6.5 million Melbourne Cup Tuesday, steering Half Yours to victory in Australia's "race that stops a nation". She joined Michelle Payne, who famously steered 100-1 outsider Prince of Penzance to glory in 2015, as the only women to win the race.

A cultural institution in Australia, the Melbourne Cup has been run on the first Tuesday of November since 1876 and is considered so important it is a public holiday in its host state of Victoria.
