Twilight Payment led from start to finish under jockey Jye McNeil. McNeil said after the race that trying to do it from start to finish was always the plan aboard the horse who had to settle for 11th position last year and trained himself to make sure he unlaid the plan.
It paid off.
“That was always plan and it was more a little bit of pressure on me just to get it right and thankfully it all came off”
Jye McNeil, Melbourne Cup Winning Jockey 2020.
It was his biggest win as a jockey at his first Melbourne Cup run when he scored a dashing neck victory. For those betting, he was $21 for your dollar in NSW.
