Lachlan King Melbourne Cup wins
Lachlan King is yet to have a ride in the Melbourne Cup, but due to local and international travel restrictions, he will gain his first ride in the 2021 edition of Australia’s great race.
Which horse is Lachlan King riding in the Melbourne Cup?
Lachlan King is set to continue his partnership with the Denis Pagan-trained Johnny Get Angry, who he rode to VRC Derby success during last year’s Spring Carnival. However, it is almost a certainty that Johnny Get Angry will not feature in the finish of the Melbourne Cup, as he has been beaten by more than 60 lengths combined in his four starts this campaign.
