Which horse holds the record for top weight carrying in the Melbourne Cup?

I want to see what people think as I have a fair idea as to which horse that was! Not 'top weight and LOST the race, 'top weight and WON the race'.

carbine carried 10 st 5lbs to win the 1890 Melbourne cup was ridden by r ramage and trained by w hickenbotham as a 5 yr old and carried the no 1 saddle cloth against 38 other contenders to win that years cup --- for mine this appears to be the heaviest top weight to win a Melbourne cup .
