Horse Racing: Catch all the key races leading up to the Melbourne Cup with several contenders making big efforts across these lead up races.
The 2024 Melbourne Cup is finally here, and there will be plenty to learn when the barriers open up at Flemington racecourse at approximately 3pm AEDT.
It was as recent as last year that Without A Fight won the Emirates Melbourne Cup 12 months after failing in the same race. Waller, who trained the second and third placegetters in last year’s Cup, will saddle up five runners on Tuesday. Buckaroo was the runner up in the Caulfield Cup 17 days ago, and has the x-factor required to win a Melbourne Cup, but the query is whether he runs out the trip.
“We’ve got a Derby winner who is well down in the market but has won on the biggest stage here at Flemington two years ago in Manzoice. Waller said that Land Legend is a horse that’s good enough but has his fair share of quirks. The trainer explained what he’s done to help the horse be on his best behaviour during race day.“Before the race he got worked up and tried to take the rider on. Zac Purton is a world-class rider and doesn’t have trouble with many horses, but he did with Land Legend.“Most horses handle it quite well, but for him it might add to his excitement, so we’re just trying to dull that sound.
