The Australian-bred horse triumphed over a field which included a record four female jockeys.
Knight's Choice has won Australia's famous Melbourne Cup, in a dramatically close race which went to a photo finish.
Runner-up in the two-mile contest was Warp Speed and third was Okita Soushi, ridden by Jamie Kah - one of a record four female jockeys in the field. Dolan was previously best known as a contestant on the Voice Australia, but he has now stamped his name in Flemington Racecourse history."I think I'll be singing for the rest of my life after that. What the hell."
Bobby surprised his son by travelling to Australia for his Melbourne Cup debut, and was in the crowd to watch his victory.
