Daniel Stackhouse is one of the 24 jockeys booked to ride in the 2021 Melbourne Cup, but has he won the great race before? Let’s take a look at his record in the Flemington feature and his chances of winning it this year.
Daniel Stackhouse’s Melbourne Cup record
Stackhouse might not have as much top-tier metro experience as some of the other hoops in the mix, but he is no stranger to Melbourne Cup racing. In 2020, he finished fourth aboard The Chosen One, so you can bet he will be keen to get onto the podium this year.
Who is Daniel Stackhouse riding in the 2021 Melbourne Cup?
Stackhouse is booked to ride Knights Order for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott, who are still searching for their first Melbourne Cup win as a training partnership. The now seven-year-old gelding showed promise in the winter, ending his campaign with a couple of black-type wins, but he has been well off the pace in all four runs this spring. It would be a huge surprise if this one was to figure in the finish on November 2.
