Preparations for the Willie Mullins-trained Vauban have been in full swing for many months. The VRC first caught up with Dave Casey, foreman, in August this year in Ireland, where he discussed the logistics of bringing the Lexus Melbourne Cup favourite to Australia. The team was focused on managing each detail to ensure he would arrive in top condition. Their plan was as much about timing as it is about training: every workout leading up to the trip was calibrated to maintain his peak form, knowing the first week in Australia will involve lighter work.
