A protest will decide the result of the WS Cox Plate after Ireland's State Of Rest and star colt Anamoe fought out a thrilling finish to the $5 million race.
State Of Rest held Anamoe at bay in a desperate finish but the runner-up's jockey Craig Williams lodged an objection for interference late in the race.
Verry Elleegant took the minor placing in a race robbed of a major drawcard when early favourite Zaaki was scratched because of an elevated temperature.
