WindbagWindbag was foaled in 1921 and was by Magpie out of the mare Charleville (by Charlemagne)

The Melbourne Stakes winner Pilliewinkle was third a length further back from the second placegetter.

He set a new record time for the event of 3.22.75.

This was also the first Melbourne Cup broadcast by the ABC.
