City Of Troy Aims for Breeders' Cup Classic

Aidan O'Brien's horse City Of Troy is set to compete in the Breeders' Cup Classic following an impressive victory in the G1 Juddmonte International, where he broke the 10-furlong track record. Despite a previous setback in the 2000 Guineas, he has emerged as a dominant force, also winning the Derby and Coral-Eclipse this season. O'Brien plans to prepare City Of Troy for the different dirt surface at Del Mar with a gallop at either Southwell or Wolverhampton before the race. Coolmore partner Michael Tabor expressed concerns over the challenge of adapting to the new surface but remains hopeful for a successful outcome. City Of Troy's recent performances have earned him a rating of 130p, making him the highest-rated horse in training. O'Brien's stable continues to thrive, with other contenders poised for upcoming events, including the St Leger and juvenile Group Ones.
