Daryl Braithwaite rocks The Valley with his rock classic Horses

IT’S a Cox Plate tradition and Daryl Braithwaite has rocked The Valley with his rock classic Horses with a crowd of 38,000 singing along with him.

IT’S a Cox Plate tradition and Daryl Braithwaite has rocked The Valley with his rock classic ‘Horses’.

Huge crowds drowned out the Australian rocker’s voice as he walked the straight ahead of Winx’s bid for history.

At one point he stopped singing entirely and let the crowd of thousands take over.

As always, the performance was met with varied levels of enthusiasm.

Don’t miss all the #Winx wash-up in your 24-page commemorative liftout, the ultimate souvenir to celebrate our greatest ever racehorse, only in your Sunday Herald Sun

There is something so unreal and Australian listening to the whole crowd sing Daryl Braithwaite’s The Horses at Moonee Valley. Amazing

Wonder if anyone will record Braithwaite singing horses at the cox plate. Wanna see it later, muffled, shaky with a squeaky voice in background on social media 🤦🏽‍♂️ #coxplate #horses #thatblacktshirt
