How many Melbourne Cups has Chris Waller won?
Champion trainer Chris Waller will have a strong hand in the 2024 Melbourne Cup, with five horses from his stable set to race the 3200m Flemington feature.
Waller is one of the star trainers of Australian racing, but has only managed to win the Melbourne Cup on one occasion, when Verry Elleegant won the 2021 edition of the race.
In 2024, Waller will saddle up the favourite in the Melbourne Cup, with Caulfield Cup runner-up Buckaroo a $6 market elect with horse racing bookmakers.
It would be a brave man to bet against Waller, who has over 150 group 1 wins, winning another Melbourne Cup for the locals in his career.
