Dominating Music AND The Race Track: Gudinski's Horse Wins 2016 Melb Cup

He's one of Australia's most celebrated music figures and now you can add another botch to the belt of Michael Gudinski - Melbourne Cup winner.

According to SMH, the Mushroom Group founder and chairman is the co-owner of today's winning horse, Almandin, alongside Sean Bartholomew, Rip Curl founder, Brian Singer, Quiksilver founder, Alan Green, Vin Sammartino, Phil Mehrtens and John Ingham of Ingham Chicken. 

Talk about a winning combination. 

Gudinski was quoted yesterday saying, "You need help with music come to me, if I want success in racing I wanted to be in the Lloyd Williams camp".

By the time today's race was all done and dusted, Almandin paid a cool $12.30 on the NSW Tab and now Gudinski, along with his fellow co-owners, will enjoy a handy share of the $6.2 million winnings.
