The 1921 Melbourne Cup was a two-mile handicap horse race which took place on Tuesday, 1 November 1921.[1]
This year's Melbourne Cup saw chaos when the favourite Eurythmic got its head above the strand tape and when it was raised mayhem ensued. When the race was run it was won by Sister Olive who became the third and most recent filly to win the Melbourne Cup.[2] The third place Amazonia was partly owned by Essendon Football Club champion Albert Thurgood.[3]
