Willie Mullins eyeing Cup glory

Mullins, known for his prowess in jump racing, recognises the Lexus Melbourne Cup’s significance as one of the world’s most prestigious races. He’s adjusting his training strategies for both horses, aiming to peak their performance for November. While Vauban will follow a similar preparation to last year, Absurde’s campaign will include an earlier start, potentially targeting the Caulfield Cup before the main event.

The Lexus Melbourne Cup’s allure extends beyond the racing world. Mullins shared how the race captures the imagination of his owners, with all of them dreaming of experiencing the thrill of victory in Melbourne. He emphasised the unique build-up and atmosphere surrounding the Melbourne Cup Carnival, making it a truly global sporting spectacle.

With Vauban and Absurde in his stable, Mullins carries the hopes of a nation as he prepares for another Lexus Melbourne Cup challenge. The world will be watching as Mullins and his horses strive for glory on the first Tuesday in November.
