The 1905 Melbourne Cup was a two-mile handicap horse race which took place on Tuesday, 7 November 1905.

This race saw a 26-horse field compete.[1] Jockey Frank Bullock had returned to Australia three weeks earlier and has not intended to ride in the race. He got a ride on Blue Spec after Normon Godby who had ridden Blue Spec to victory in Moonee Valley Cup choose to ride Gladsome. Blue Spec had previously won the Kalgoorlie Cup and Perth Cup and triumphed for owner Paddy Connolly in a race record time of 3 minutes 27.5 seconds.[2]

This is the list of placegetters for the 1905 Melbourne Cup.[3]

Place Name Jockey Trainer
1 Blue Spec F. Bullock Walter Hickenbotham
2 Scot Free H. Coffey Tom Payten
3 Tartan J. Barden Joe Burton
