News
Aidan O'Brien may have 17 wins in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes but will have to overcome a rival daring to dream of what would be a "brilliant" debut win in the sport's top tier on Saturday.
Veteran trainer Adrian Murray has enjoyed a phenomenal campaign with his two-year-olds so far in 2023 and has set his sights on taking on the might of Ballydoyle in the first Group 1 of the year for juveniles with Group 2 Railway Stakes winner Bucanero Fuerte at the Curragh.
Last year's champion juvenile Little Big Bear has been retired by Coolmore due to a condylar fracture on the right front fetlock with Aidan O'Brien hailing him an "unbelievable juvenile who just didn't get the rub of the green this year".
Frankie Dettori is set to team up again with high-class filly Inspiral and bid for a final success in the Prix du Haras de Fresnay-le-Buffard Prix Jacques le Marois this Sunday just 11 days after being beaten by Paddington at Goodwood.
