This is brilliant.

Heartbreak City has come second in the Melbourne Cup, Australia's biggest horse race, missing out on first to Almandin. However, the owners of the horse, who pocketed $900,000 for second prize, were ecstatic. The three Irish owners of the horse, Aidan Shiels, Niall Reilly and Charlie Gavigan, were filmed reacting to the finish of the race, and Shiels scared the living hell out of the Australian TV reporter tasked with attempting to interview them. This was the 156th running of the Melbourne Cup, but we doubt there's ever been an interview to match this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUp158ZGcZ0 The trio have previous for memorable interviews following big wins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQjb2pm2jWI Colm Parkinson is joined by Paul Rouse for a heated debate about Sky Sports' five-year GAA deal and an exclusive chat with AFL star Zach Tuohy on the new GAA Hour.
