Detailed summary

Autumn Glow has capped off a bumper Melbourne Cup carnival for Chris Waller and James McDonald, digging deep to reign supreme in the $3 million Champions Mile.

Leading trainer Chris Waller has put Autumn Glow in the same company as the legendary Winx after a hard-fought win in the $3 million Champions Mile.

The four-year-old mare, ridden by James McDonald, scored her sixth Group 1 victory and first win at Flemington in the 1600m feature on Saturday.

She has now won all but one of her 16 starts but was made to work as stablemate Lindermann ($16) took up the fight down the straight.

McDonald said the star miler got a little "lost at sea" while running in the Melbourne direction for the first time.
