The 1994 Melbourne Cup was a two-mile handicap horse race which took place on Tuesday, 1 November 1994. The race was run over Шаблон:Convert, at Flemington Racecourse.
The race was won by the British horse, Jeune.[1] His victory followed that of the Irish horse, Vintage Crop in the 1993 Melbourne Cup. Jeune at 16/1 defeated Paris Lane with the outsiders Oompala and Double Take making up the first four finishers. The previous year's winner and 5/1 favourite, Vintage Crop, was seventh.[2]
