News
David Menuisier will be working back from Wonderful Tonight's date with destiny in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on October 3 for her next targets following her brilliant return to action at Royal Ascot last week.
Bolshoi Ballet has been ruled out of Saturday's Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby but connections hope he'll be back in action soon. The colt suffered a cut to his hind leg at an early point in the Cazoo Derby when a disappointing favourite and has not recovered in time to have another crack at Classic glory.
Trainer O’Brien said: “He’s back cantering again. Obviously this weekend will come too quick, but he is cantering now. I was thinking if we get through next week without a hiccup, then maybe we can start looking for a race for him after that.
High Definition is on course for Saturday’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby, although Aidan O’Brien has yet to finalise his full squad for the Curragh Classic.
