Point Of Law gives his Melbourne Cup a nose-first inspection
The winner's morning-after encounter with his trophy brings World Horse Racing an unusually fast-starting Short.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 57,687 views a day, 21 times a normal first day on this channel (2,752).
Wait, did I win that?!?! POINT OF LAW with his Melbourne Cup the morning after!
The gold cup is waiting at the edge of the grass when Point Of Law lowers his muzzle to investigate. A sniff, a nudge, and the Melbourne Cup is on its side. The horse pulls his head back, leaving the trophy on the turf.
World Horse Racing's morning-after clip swaps the finish-line celebrations for a rather less ceremonial encounter with the prize. It drew roughly 58,000 views in its first day, about twenty-one times the channel's usual start for a Short. No speech is needed: the title, "Wait, did I win that?!?! POINT OF LAW with his Melbourne Cup the morning after!", supplies the imagined thought.
The channel has also shared the human side of the victory, following trainer Ciaron Maher as he watches Point Of Law win. Here, the horse gets the scene to himself, apart from his handler and a nearby onlooker. Viewers turn the toppled cup into a joke about a champion still hungry for more, while another finds room for a racing pun: more wins in the stall.
