Knight's Choice's win in the Melbourne Cup stuns almost everyone at Flemington, including the jockey, as the favourites fall by the wayside.

Australian-bred horse Knight's Choice has stunned a strong international contingent to win the 2024 Melbourne Cup.

The Melbourne Cup has changed greatly in 30 years, but some things remain the same. Just ask three-time cup-winning jockey Kerrin McEvoy.

Days after a trackwork accident that nearly put her out of the race, Via Sistina breaks Winx's track record by nearly two seconds to win the Cox Plate, giving jockey James McDonald his 100th Group 1 win.

The Swans hoped the thrashing by Geelong in the 2022 grand final was a one-off, but their latest thumping by Brisbane reveals a worrying pattern that will no doubt add to the soul-searching at Sydney.

Twelve months on from a devastating loss at the MCG, coach Chris Fagan and his Lions deliver the perfect send-off to a rollercoaster season that could have been the script of a glossy TV drama.

The Swans, Power, Cats and Lions are the last four teams standing this AFL season, but will it be personnel, tactics, mindset, venue or something else that will be the keys to their respective finals?

Ryley Batt has been a great of wheelchair rugby for two decades, and the Australian star has had an almost-magical combination with teammate Chris Bond for four Paralympics. Batt finished with bronze in Paris, and it's time to be thankful for his brilliant Paralympic career, writes Andrew McGarry.
