Marshall.[4] His winning time was 3:21:25 and his odds were ten to one. He finished the race one and a half lengths in front of the next racer, Monte Carlo.[5] Baystone was the first horse in Cup history winning with the number 7 saddlecloth.[6] The 1958 Melbourne Cup was the first one with automatic barrier stalls.[7]
Baystone was favored 10/1 partly due to the victory he claimed the Saturday before the race at the Hatham Handicap.[4][8]
