Craig died on the morning of 17 August from gout and pneumonia. Craig's dream was recounted in The Age newspaper the day before the cup. At about 4 O'clock Ms. Craig with tears in her eyes reveals to Ballarat that Nimblefoot had won with its jockey wearing a black arm band. The winning time of 3:37.0 was at the time the fastest winning time in the race's history. This is the list of placegetters for the 1870 Melbourne Cup. (en)
