City Of Troy Competes in Juddmonte International

City Of Troy, hailed by trainer Aidan O’Brien as the best horse he's ever trained, is set to headline the Juddmonte International at York, which boasts a record prize of £1.25 million. Despite his impressive Derby win, skepticism surrounds his ability to dominate due to a less-than-inspiring performance in the Eclipse, where he faced challenging conditions. The race will see a strong field of 13 competitors, including top-class rivals from across Europe, raising questions about City Of Troy's vulnerability. O’Brien insists that the ground conditions at York will favor his long-striding colt, potentially allowing him to showcase his true talent. While expectations are high, the presence of formidable opponents suggests this could be a defining moment in City Of Troy's career. The race is part of the prestigious Ebor Festival, which is one of the highlights of the British Flat racing calendar.
