Both Irish trainers had horses ruled out of their respective races on vets' advice
Adan O'Brien and Jessica Harrington were left disappointed after some of their horses were not allowed to run at the Breeders' Cup on Friday.
Stablemate Bolshoi Ballet was also taken out of Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Turf and O’Brien was pragmatic in his response. “Obviously they’re athletes and they don’t pull out the same way every day, like we don’t get out of bed every day the same, and he might have been slightly stiffer today than he was yesterday.
Of River Tiber’s future plans, he added: “I’d say he’ll have a break – this obviously would have been his last run and he will be trained for the Classics next year.” The handler admitted the experience could make her think twice about bringing horses to the fixture in the future.
