Bec Judd to share in more than $3 million prize pool for Melbourne Cup winning horse

Bec Judd had more than just a fantastic Melbourne Cup Day outfit to cheer about yesterday, as it turns out, she also has shares in the winning horse Point Of Law.

The three-year-old colt bolted in to win the Lexus Melbourne Cup in his second race on Australian soil, with Ethan Brown in the saddle.

Bec and her former AFL star husband Chris Judd are in the ownership group for Point Of Law, meaning they shared in the glory – and the winnings – yesterday.

Bec celebrated with a cheeky photo of her holding the famous golden trophy, which she posted to Instagram with the caption: “Ummmm….. this wasn’t on my bingo card but I’ll take it.

“Point of Law – you little beauty. Congrats to all the connections. Same time next year? @flemingtonvrc.”

In other pictures shared to her Instagram Stories, Bec admitted she “couldn’t stop giggling” after seeing Point Of Law take home the win.

“How fun is fun,” she wrote over a snap of her and Chris with what appeared to be other members of the ownership group.

Point Of Law is part of the Ciaron Maher stable and won $4.5 million in prize money, $450,000 of which goes to the horses’ trainer.

The Judds will get a share in the more than $3 million in prize money that goes to the ownership group.

Bec went all out with her Cup Day outfit on Tuesday, embracing springtime colours in a striped red, blue and yellow frock with sheer panels on the skirt.

She paired the dress with a bright red bow and matching red patent leather handbag in the shape of a heart.

The media personality topped it all off with soft curls and a neutral makeup look.

Earlier this year, she opened up about a botched round of filler that left her looking “like an alien” on her podcast Vain-ish.

“That happened to me once. I call it Spock face, because of Mr Spock! I’ve been having anti-wrinkle injections for literally half my life,” Judd said.

“It was so embarrassing because it was when I had to interview people and react ... every time I did, I would go full alien! It was outer corners; it was ridiculous.”

She said the filler caused her eyebrows to slant downwards, resembling the iconic Star Trek character played by Leonard Nimoy, known for his pointed brows. 

Fortunately, Bec had no such beauty mishaps on Cup Day.
