{{Quote box
 |quote  = They're at the 300 now, Doriemus whipped to lead, the three year old Nothin' Leica Dane coming at him, they're clear of Coachwood and then came Quick Ransom. It's Doriemus in front inside the 200 meter mark, led by a length to Nothin' Leica Dane giving everything, then Quick Ransom, Coachwood and Vintage Crop. But it's all Doriemus at the hundred, raced away three lengths to Nothin' Leica Dane and then came Vintage Crop, but Doremius takes the double! Doremius three and a half, Nothin' Leica Dane runs second.

The '''1995 Melbourne Cup''' was a two-mile [[Handicap (horse racing)|handicap]] horse race which took place on Tuesday, 7 November 1995. The race was run over {{convert|3200|m|mi|3}}, at [[Flemington Racecourse]].

The race was won by the New Zealand bred gelding, [[Doriemus]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.races.com.au/melbourne-cup/melbourne-cup-history/past-winners/1991-to-2000-melbourne-cup/|title=Past Winners - 1991 to 2000 Melbourne Cup Winners|website=www.races.com.audate=28 October 2021}}</ref> Doriemus at 10/1 defeated the 3 year old colt, [[Nothin' Leica Dane]] and the [[1993 Melbourne Cup]] winner, [[Vintage Crop]]. The previous year's winners, Jeune and [[Wayne Harris (Australian jockey)|Wayne Harris]], competed again but could only manage 15th place.

Doreimus who had previously won the [[Caulfield Cup]] was sired by Norman Pentaquad (USA)<ref name="theage">{{cite web|url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/racing/little-stallion-that-beat-the-odds-20090403-ge7rvw.html|website=theage.com.au|title=Little stallion that beat the odds|access-date=21 October 2023}}</ref> (by [[Riverman]]) out of the dam Golden Woods by [[Zamazaan (horse)|Zamazaan]] (FR).<ref name="pedigreequery">{{cite web|url=https://www.pedigreequery.com/doriemus|author=Miles Michelson|website=pedigreequery.com|title=Doriemus Horse Pedigree|access-date=21 October 2023}}</ref>

Doriemus was the eighth horse to win the Cups double. In 1997 he ran second to [[Might and Power]] in both Cups.

This was the first Melbourne Cup win for Damien Oliver.<ref name="heraldsun">{{cite web|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/superracing/doriemus-1995-caulfield-and-melbourne-cups-winner-dies-after-hoof-infection-in-paddock-incident/news-story/8e49714ed3080eb132589b439abe1df2|title=Doriemus, 1995 Caulfield and Melbourne Cups winner, dies after hoof infection in paddock incident|website=Herald Sun|access-date=21 October 2023}}</ref><ref name="progroupracing">{{cite web|url=https://www.progroupracing.com.au/magazine/articles/damienoliver-finalcup|website=progroupracing.com.au|title=www.progroupracing.com.au/magazine/articles/damienoliver-finalcup|access-date=21 October 2023}}</ref>

The Irish-bred [[Double Trigger]] who finished 17th was the top weight in the race carrying 60.5 kgs, ahead of the two previous Melbourne Cup winners [[Vintage Crop]] (3rd) and [[Jeune]] (15th) on 59kg.
