Master O'Reilly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Master O'Reilly is an Australian race horse trained by Danny O'Brien. He is the 2007 winner of the Caulfield Cup.

In October 2007, Master O'Reilly was penalized 1.5kg by Racing Victoria Limited prior to the Melbourne Cup, one of the highest penalties given in recent years. Although the penalty placed him 26th among a field of 24 horses, he was nevertheless guaranteed a start and went on to win the Caulfield Cup later that week. He was well supported in the Melbourne Cup, starting favourite, but he finished a disappointing eighth behind Efficient.
