Following victories in the Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes and Group 1 Underwood Stakes, the six-year-old gelding will seek to claim Melbourne Cup glory in his first attempt. If the son of Fastnet Rock was to win the 3200m classic, he would deliver Waller his second victory in the race that stops the nation. Can Buckaroo continue his strong run of form…
