Great q and a by Howard and Paul. I love the professional manner exhibited by Aidan, Howard, and Paul. Looks like Aidan may be a hero to those of us backing his entries!!Getting very excited about these races!
great to see you lads get AOB on. Such a gent with his time! and a master in this game. Wish him and COT and the rest of the gang the best at Del Mar. Get your rest Aidan, need you fresh for breeders cup lol.
Very cool - that you guys get this interview.....very cool Aidan takes the time to interview with some US based journalist (sorry if you take that as a insult...not trying too)
That Juddmonte International Stakes win by City Of Troy sure looks like rock solid form now two months further on down the road. Finishing behind City Of Troy in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York: *2nd-Calandagan* (Form for 2024 is rock solid. Wins at Longchamp in the G3 Prix Noailles & G3 Prix Hocquart. At Ascot he won the G2 King Edward VII Stakes and at Ascot again 5 days ago he finished 2nd in the G1 Champion Stakes).* *3rd-Ghostwriter* (Also has class form in 2024. (4th of 11 in the G1 English 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, 4th of 14 in the G1 Prix Du Jockey Club at Chantilly, 3rd of 6 in the G1 Coral-Eclipse at Sandown won by City Of Troy, and his most recent start in September produced a 5th of 8 finish in the G1 Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown). *4th-Bluestocking* (How good has this filly been in 2024. Her 4th at York really pads the form of the JIS. This season she's won the G2 Middleton Stakes at York, G1 Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh in Ireland, 2nd of 9 at Ascot in the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes. A loss she rebounded from by winning both the G1 Prix Vermeille & G1 Prix De l'Arc de Triomphe). Strong form for sure, but how well, if at all, his form on turf translates over to conventional dirt at Del Mar is anyone's guess. I will say this, on just pure raw ability City of Troy is one of, if not the most talented horse lining up in this year's BC Classic field, so summarily dismiss him and/or his ability to make the switch from turf to dirt without it being an issue at your own peril.
Howard and paul. Any word on aesops fables the only horse i thought might beat cogburn. Didnt hear name mentioned. Also howard mentioned continuous but i didnot hear mr. Obrien say. Thks

Aiden makes a good point about track speed and injuries. We should slow down the tracks in the USA to make racing more safer.
Would've like to know if Wayne Lordan was retaining the mount on Lake Victoria or if Ryan Moore was taking over.
I'd be very surprised if Ryan was NOT on the horse....we'll see.
Ryan Moore won on her last time out.
