Melbourne Cup contender Jan Brueghel has been ruled out of the $8.5 million race, with connections stunned by Racing Victoria stewards’ decision to withdraw the Irish horse. The unbeaten colt trained by Aidan O’Brien was among the top favourites in the early betting and had been “bouncing” in preparations at Werribee, according to Coolmore’s Tom Magnier.

Aidan will keep talking to the lads. I’m just very disappointed for all the staff.
