THE world’s most glamorous racegoers – and Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson – lit up a rain-soaked Melbourne Cup… where punters had to stick to a ‘no thongs’ rule.
Winner Gold Trip, a 20-1 shot, bagged a £2.5million windfall for jockey Mark Zahra and trainers Ciaron Maher and English-born David Eustace.
And while that horse stole the show on the track, there’s no question the stunning racegoers hogged the limelight off it.
They wore their finest raceday gear despite the ‘rain bomb’ hitting Flemington racecourse in Melbourne, Australia.
It is thought some 100,000 punters braved the conditions, among them the Old Trafford legend.
