The 1967 Melbourne Cup was a two-mile handicap horse race which took place on Tuesday, 7 November 1967.
The race was won by the New Zealand bred stallion Red Handed, trained by Bart Cummings and ridden by Roy Higgins.
This was the third win in a row in the great race by Bart Cummings who went on to record twelve Melbourne Cup winners.
His off foreleg was club-footed and the nerves on one side of his head were paralysed due to being kicked by another horse.
It was the second victory for Roy Higgins who had brought home Light Fingers for Bart in the 1965 Melbourne Cup.
