Martin full of praise for Mullins Tony Martin hailed Willie Mullins "a genius" as the two trainers go head to head in the Melbourne Cup at Flemington on Tuesday. Martin has high hopes for Ebor hero Heartbreak City, but admits the Mullins-trained Wicklow Brave is the one European challenger giving him most cause for concern. His respect for Wicklow Brave is, however, eclipsed by his admiration for the seven-year-old's trainer. Martin said: ''The man who trains him is one of the two best trainers in the world - Willie Mullins and Aidan O'Brien. "Whatever Willie does with them, he's a genius. ''Dermot Weld is a very good trainer, a brilliant performer but this man (Mullins) has surpassed that. He's a legend like Vincent O'Brien. ''My respect for the man is unreal.''
