Ciaron Maher brings seven runners to Melbourne Cup after Gold Trip win
Former jockey who got into bull riding turns leading trainer with Cup favourite Point of Law
Trainer Ciaron Maher will saddle up seven horses in Tuesday's Melbourne Cup, the strongest hand he says he has ever had. The 45-year-old won the race with Gold Trip in 2022, and his runners include favourite Point of Law, who catapulted into favouritism after a brilliant win in the Geelong Cup.
