Summary

Aidan O'Brien joins Emmet Kennedy to discuss his running plans and the latest information on his team for Champions Day at Ascot, the Breeders Cup at Santa Anita, the Japan Cup, and Hong Kong. But we start by discussing his four individual Group 1-winning juveniles, beginning with his unbeaten Dewhurst winner, City Of Troy, and his potential to become the first Triple Crown winner in 54 years. Opera Singer looks like an exciting prospect, and Aidan shares running plans for her and explains the importance of their sire, Justify, and how he expects them to develop next year. We also talk about classic aims for Ylang Ylang and Henry Longfellow. The focus then switches to Champions Day as Aidan unleashes major firepower while aiming for his seventh British Trainers Championship. We discuss Kyprios, Aesop's Fables, Jackie Oh, Paddington, and Point Lonsdale. Aidan has more juvenile talent to unleash, and he talks about plans for Illinois, Military, Cambridge, Los Angeles, and Diego Velazquez, who runs in next week's Kameko Futurity Trophy Stakes Group 1 at Doncaster. Finally, we switch to the Breeders Cup and discuss Auguste Rodin, Henry Adams, Unquestionable, River Tiber, Content, Warm Heart, and the Japan Cup, where Continuous could be joined by Luxembourg.
