News
Richard Hannon believes Rosallion could be the best horse in the stable's 56-year history after he revealed the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes winner has continued to dazzle at home in preparation for next week's Qatar Sussex Stakes.

Aidan O'Brien said everything looks ideal at Ascot for Auguste Rodin, who will form a powerful Ballydoyle strikeforce with stablemate Luxembourg in Saturday's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes. A tweak in tactics has helped bring out the best in Auguste Rodin, who turned up for the race last year as the Epsom and Irish Derby winner but trailed in last of ten. He arrives this time off an emphatic victory in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot and O'Brien is hopeful of a much better performance in his second crack at the race.
