It used to be the case that the second placegetter got exempted but they have changed the rules re exemption etc.
There are just two Australian races that offer exemption into the Melbourne Cup, and they are the Cox Plate and the Saab and then it's only the winners of those two races.

When did they change that??? It's been the first two from the SAAB for as long as I can remember. |
