(Photo by Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) Ciaron Maher is one of Australia’s premier horse trainers and he will be represented by four runners in the 2024 Melbourne Cup. Training in partnership with David Eustace, Maher tasted Melbourne Cup glory in 2022 when Gold Trip produced a devastating turn of foot to claim victory in the race that stops the nation. Now that Maher has returned to sole-training duties of his stable in 2024, he will be seeking to claim victory in the great race again this year. Maher has been arguably the best trainer throughout the spring of 2024 so far, and it would come as no surprise if he were to claim another Group 1 on the first Tuesday in November. How many Melbourne Cups has Ciaron Maher won? As mentioned above, Ciaron Maher has won the Melbourne Cup once when training with David Eustace in 2022. Mark Zahra piloted Gold Trip to victory and delivered the stable its first and only Cup. What horses does Ciaron Maher have in the 2024 Melbourne Cup? Ciaron Maher will train four horses in the 2024 Melbourne Cup. Circle Of Fire, Okita Soushi, Interpretation and Saint George will carry the hopes of the Maher operation in the 3200m classic.
