Italian jockey Andrea Atzeni first rode in the Melbourne Cup a decade ago, partnering My Ambivalent in the race won by Protectionist. Now based in Hong Kong, he has claimed notable victories in Group 1 races across Italy, Great Britain, Ireland, France, Canada, the UAE, Germany, and most recently, Australia. Following his ride on Zardozi to a commendable fourth in the 2024 Caulfield Cup, James Cummings has asked Atzeni to hop on board once again, this time in the Lexus Melbourne Cup.
