Irish master trainer Aidan O’Brien will bid for an elusive Melbourne Cup win at a closed Flemington Racecourse on Tuesday, having come close to snatching the “race that stops the nation” in recent years. O’Brien has saddled 15 runners in Australia’s iconic two-mile handicap and will have another two in the A$8 million ($5.60 million) Cup’s 160th running on Tuesday. Both entrants are highly regarded, with Tiger Moth a narrow 13-2 favourite ahead of last year’s Epsom Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck (15-2).
