Can Breakup win the 2023 Melbourne Cup?
The Japanese have intentions of taking out Australia’s greatest race, as Breakup makes his way to the 2023 Melbourne Cup.
It’s the first time since 2019 the land of the rising sun has been represented in the race that stops the nation, with Mer De Glace managing a sixth-place finish after taking out the same year’s Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m).
Breakup profiles very, similarly, already running in the 2023 Caulfield Cup since arriving in Australia, finishing a luckless eighth of 18.
Prior to his arrival, his local Japanese form jumps off the page, with form behind the likes of the world’s highest-rated horse Equinox and a fourth-place finish behind Justin Palace in the Group 1 Tenno Sho (spring) (3200m).
There’s no doubting his staying credentials and can easily make an impact in this year’s Melbourne Cup.

Can Breakup win the 2023 Melbourne Cup?
The only Japanese runner in the 2023 Melbourne Cup comes in the form of Breakup. The Tatsuya Yoshioka-trained five-year-old has already made his presence felt in the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m), finishing a luckless eighth of the 18 runners. He was poleaxed between runners and lost all momentum under Damian Lane, spelling the end of his chances in that contest. He was clearly very forgivable on that effort, and you only need to peak at his local form to see how talented this son of Novelist can be. He was blown away by the world’s highest-rated horse, Equinox, in the Group 1 Takarazuka Kinen (2200m) at Hanshin, but prior to that was closing on the heals of Justin Palace in the Group 1 Tenno Sho (spring) (3200m) over the Melbourne Cup trip. Kohei Matsuyama makes the trip from Japan to steer home Breakup and will be seeking history, as the first winner from the land of the rising sun since Delta Blues in 2006. He is a first four hope.
