The centenary Melbourne Cup trophy, won by Hi Jinx in 1960, was purchased in Sydney earlier this week at auction for $104,000 to an undisclosed buyer.
Also offered was the Sydney Cup trophy won by Grand Print in 1962. It was sold for $18,000.
Grand Print was ridden by Roy Higgins, for owner Graeme Nathan and trainer Jack Besanko senior.
The result was quite interesting as the three placed horses, Hi Jinx, Howsie and Ilumquh, were all visitors from New Zealand, yet were all ridden by Australian jockeys; Billie Smith, Jack Purtell and Bill Williamson.

Bauer camp eye another crack at Melbourne Cup
BY ANDREW SCUTTS 9:15AM 10 JUN 2010
Australia: Bauer, beaten a nose in the 2008 Emirates Melbourne Cup, is progressing well from injury and connections are eyeing another crack at the prestigious Flemington contest, which will be run for the 150th time this year.
The Luca Cumani-trained stayer is set to step up his training regime next month with a view at going one better than two years ago when he was defeated by Viewed.
"The scans have all been clean, which is pleasing and the horse has been in work a long time now with the intention of coming back to Melbourne for this year's Cup," part-owner Simon O'Donnell said on Thursday.
"He's built up from walking to cantering and trotting and will start his serious race gallops in July.
"The intention is to give him two or three runs in Europe and assuming all goes well and the horse pleases Luca, then he'll be headed back to Melbourne."
Bauer emerged from a crop of more highly fancied international raiders in 2008 to win the Geelong Cup before narrowly losing out in an epic Melbourne Cup.
"He was one of those imports that improved out of sight when he got to this hemisphere," O'Donnell added.
"He grew in stature from the minute he arrived, he loved the firm ground and the Cup was run in a manner that year that suited him."
Bauer is one of four European horses that O'Donnell and Terry Henderson's OTI Racing are preparing for a tilt at this year's Spring Racing Carnival and ultimately the Melbourne Cup on November 2.
The Cumani-trained Manighar, who is owned by OTI Racing and the Honourable EarleMack, is also a Cup contender and O'Donnell said: "We were particularly pleased with his debut run [for Cumani]. We were pleased to see him running so well on good ground because it was the one box he hadn't ticked.
"The run the other night gave us a lot of confidence that he has the qualities to be a Cup horse if he continues in the right direction."
Another Cumani possible is Becqu Adoree, who was eighth of nine on her British debut last month.
"She was not as bright as we'd hoped, but she played up in the gates beforehand and has come on since then," O'Donnell said.
"We're expecting an improved showing next time out."
OTI could also be represented by John Smith's Northumberland Plate candidate Stansill, who is trained by Alan Swinbank.

Profound Beauty - Dermott Weld - Faint Perfume
Races.com.au
1 JUNE 2010 | BETTING, MELBOURNE CUP
Six-year-old Danehill mare Profound Beauty, trained by premier Irish trainer Dermot Weld, has had an impressive start to her 2010 Melbourne Cup campaign with a classy win in Ireland.
Weld, the only European trainer to win the Melbourne Cup having won with Vintage Crop (1993) and Media Puzzle (2002), will aim for a third ‘Loving Trophy’ with his profoundly talented beauty in this year’s 150th running of the Melbourne Cup on November 2.
The highly rated Profound Beauty finished a gallant fifth to Viewed in the 2008 Melbourne Cup before being scratched from last year’s event a month before after a long and tiring season.
On Sunday she started her season with a first-up win at Leopardstown in a Listed race over 2800m, beating odds-on favourite Age Of Aquarius by a half-length in her first start after a long spell following her fourth place finish to Alandi in the Irish St Leger in September last year.
Weld has hinted at runs in both the Curragh Cup and the Irish St Leger again this year for Profound Beauty on her way to the 2010 Melbourne Cup.
There is sure to be a strong international flavour in this year’s Melbourne Cup with a number of top international horses expected to travel to Flemington for the first Tuesday in November. Entries for the Melbourne Cup close on August 3.
Profound Beauty is currently a $26 chance for the $6 million Melbourne Cup in the pre-nomination betting market at SportingBet, while the Bart Cummings-trained Faint Perfume remains the $17 favourite.
Faint Perfume arrives back in Cummings’ care at his Sydney stable next Monday after having been spelled at Think Big Stud. The three-year-old Shamardal filly is raced by Dato Tan Chin Nam, who is the most successful owner in the Melbourne Cup having won four times with Think Big (1974 & 1975), Saintly (1996) and Viewed (2008).
Dato Tan also part-owns Cummings’ Redoute’s Choice filly Dariana who is the hot $3.50 favourite for this Saturday’s $400,000 Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2400m) at Eagle Farm through IASbet.
