Jockey Tommy Berry won himself the world's richest two-year-old race for the second time almost a year after losing his twin brother Nathan.

It was an emotional victory for both jockey and trainer, as Waterhouse tied the record set by her late father Tommy Smith. 

Vancouver defied history by winning the race from an outside gate, joining Phelan Ready who won from barrier 16 in 2009.
