Cup day in Geelong

Key points

• Point of Law, a British three-year-old stallion, won the $500,000 Geelong Cup at Geelong Racecourse on Cup day. The horse was ridden by Ethan Brown and trained by Ciaron Maher.
• The win gives the horse a golden ticket for direct entry to the Melbourne Cup if its connections accept. Small Fry finished second and Omni Man third.
• Last year's winner, Onesmoothoperator, finished 11th. Temperatures in the low to mid-20s greeted thousands of racegoers, a sharp contrast to last year's washed-out meeting.
