King Charles’s former horse wins Melbourne Cup
Point of Law, a horse previously owned by King Charles, won the 2026 Melbourne Cup at Flemington under jockey Ethan Brown. Trainer Ciaron Maher filled the first three places in the race, while Point of Law chased down Royal Supremacy to justify favouritism. BBC Sport and the Guardian reported the result.
Why it matters
The victory combines a high-profile royal connection with an exceptional first-three finish for one training operation.
