Green Moon is a Thoroughbred racehorse bred in Ireland and trained in Australia, and owned by Australian businessman Lloyd Williams.
[2] Sired by Montjeu, Green Moon was owned by the Goldsmith family and trained by Harry Dunlop.
Returning the following autumn, he won the Blamey Stakes over 1600m in his only start that campaign, confirming his status as a major contender for the 2012 Melbourne Cup.
However, after a disappointing seventh in the Cox Plate, his odds drifted in the Melbourne Cup, eventually starting at $22 on the tote.
In the Melbourne Cup, he settled seventh in an on-pace-dominated race, before running clear early in the straight and holding out second-placed Fiorente by one length.
