German bred Almandin won the Melbourne Cup with Kerrin McEvvoy. Wonderful race with a thrilling finish!
Now the late German Stallion Monsun has bred two Melbourne Cup winners after Protectionist won this race in 2014.

I must apologize, it's even better! Monsun sired 3 MC-winners within 4 years! There was also Fiorente in 2013. I was also told that the second one Heartbreak City in this years MC was by Lando. Great success for German breeding!

2023. Melbourne Cup.

Vauban

Set for this race for some time and couldn’t have been much more impressive at Ascot defeating Ebor winner and stablemate Absurde by a margin. Ryan Moore booked and gate three should ensure a good run in transit. The one to beat.
