Zaaki has bounced back from the disappointment of a last-minute Cox Plate scratching with a dominant win in the Mackinnon Stakes on the final day of the Melbourne Cup carnival.
It capped off a brilliant week for star jockey James McDonald, who broke Brett Prebble's record of nine wins across the Cup week, picking up his 10th aboard Zaaki.
Cascadian finished a length second while Mo'unga was a further two lengths back in third.
Check out the finish below.

Fittingly, Prebble, who rode nine winners over Cup week in 1999 and 2000, was there to congratulate McDonald, having piloted Cascadian to second.
More to come.
