Sea King and Onesmoothoperator Also Flying The Flag For Europe<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In addition to the two Willie Mullins runners – Vauban <\/strong>and Absurde<\/strong>, who both ran in the Melbourne Cup in 2023, Europe will also be cheering on Sea King <\/strong>and Onesmoothoperator<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sea King is trained in the UK by Harry Eustace and will have jockey Hollie Doyle jetting over for the ride. This 5 year-old got into the race after winning the Bendigo Cup last time out, but the Melbourne Cup trends<\/a> suggest he might have his work cut out from stall 1.<\/p>\n

Onesmoothoperator will represent the Brian Ellison yard, who train in North Yorkshire, and has shortened in the market after his impressive win in the Geelong Cup last month (watch below).<\/p>\n

Since 2010, the Melbourne Cup has been won six times by a European-trained horse.<\/p>\n
