Joseph O’Brien has beaten his famous father to Melbourne Cup glory, training Rekindling to win Australia’s greatest race.

In a father-and-son finish the younger O’Brien’s Rekindling overhauled Johannes Vermeer, trained by Aidan O’Brien in the closing stages.

Max Dynamite completed an Irish trifecta in taking the minor placing.

Corey Brown secured his second cup having won previously aboard Shocking in 2009.
