Immortal champion
Trained by John Symons & Sheila Laxon
Knight's Choice produced one of the great Melbourne Cup upsets in 2024, winning at $91 with Robbie Dolan in the saddle — the longest-priced winner in over a decade.
Trained by John Symons and Sheila Laxon, the win was a triumph for the small stables: a horse bought for modest money beating the might of the European stayers by 0.1 lengths. It instantly entered Cup folklore alongside Prince of Penzance and The Pearl.
