The three-year-old was an impressive winner of Australia's biggest race at Flemington racecourse.
Godolphin documented his return trip to Dubai, along with several stablemates, and the gelding was living the high life on board his Emirates flight.
His victory crowned a brilliant year on the track for Appleby.
The 43-year-old has won 12 Group 1 races in 2018, including the Derby at Epsom in June with Masar.
