Das vergangene Wochenende war sicher nicht das beste von Star-Trainer Aidan O’Brien. Der Ballydoyle-Coach musste wegen des durchlässigen Bodens Duke of Marmalade in den Irish Champion Stakes abmelden, seine Stute Halfway to Heaven wurde in den Matron Stakes Dritte, und der Seriensieger Henrythenavigator kam im Prix du Moulin nur auf Platz fünf.
AIDAN O’BRIEN is responsible for eight of the 18 possibles for Saturday’s Ladbrokes St Leger, including ante-post favourite Frozen Fire.
The Irish Derby hero is the 9-4 favourite with the race sponsors ahead of 4-1 second choice Look Here, who will be having her first start since landing the Juddmonte Oaks in June.
Sir Michael Stoute, bidding to land his first Leger, holds three entries with Conduit, Doctor Fremantle and Warringah – but one-time favourite Patkai is a notable absentee.
Andrew Balding’s Top Lock, third in the German Derby, will be looking to land hisfirst turf victory, at odds of 12-1 with the sponsors.
