News

York looks like the next stop on the City Of Troy tour after Aidan O'Brien said connections are swaying towards the Juddmonte International for the poster boy of the Flat season. City Of Troy has already won the Derby and the Eclipse this summer, and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes had been nominated by O'Brien as one of three possible targets for City Of Troy following his Sandown success, but he is set to sidestep that summer showpiece at Ascot on Saturday week in favour of another crack at a mile and a quarter, this time on the Knavesmire.

There was a first sighting of emphatic Dante winner Economics since May on the Al Bahathri Polytrack gallop very early on Tuesday morning, with the flashy chestnut already on the down canter to use the mile facility at 5.45am.
