The 2013 Emirates Melbourne Cup was the 153rd running of the Melbourne Cup, Australia's most prestigious Thoroughbred horse race. The race, held on 5 November 2013, at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Victoria, was won by Fiorente. The horse, owned by Andrew Roberts and Barry Pang,[2] was bred in Ireland, trained in Australia by Gai Waterhouse, and ridden by jockey Damien Oliver.[3] It was Oliver's third victory in the event, after previous wins in 1995 and 2002, and his first start after a ten-month ban for a betting offence.[4][5] Waterhouse, the daughter of Tommy J. Smith, who trained winners in 1955 and 1981, became the first Australian woman to train a winner.[6]
Red Cadeaux tackled by Fiorente, Mount Athos kicking back on the inside. It's Fiorente in front on the outside with Red Cadeaux, Fiorente and Red Cadeaux from Mount Athos. Fiorente just in front of Red Cadeaux who's coming back. Fiorente by a neck, Oliver's lifting him and Fiorente won the Melbourne Cup for Gai!

The race was attended by 104,169 people—the Victoria Racing Club (VRC) had capped attendance at 110,000 for the Melbourne Cup and the Victoria Derby, but this mark was not reached at either race.[7][8] Approximately A$90.6 million was wagered on the race through Totalisator Agency Boards in Victoria and New South Wales, with another $37.5 million wagered through equivalent agencies in Queensland, South Australia, and Tasmania.[9]
