Irishman brings his Breeders’ Cup career haul to 18 winners
ARCADIA, CA - NOVEMBER 4: Auguste Rodin with jockey Ryan Moore riding win the Breeders Cup Turf at Santa Anita Park on November 4, 2023 in Arcadia, California.
Only the US legend, D Wayne Lukas has trained more in the 40-year history of American racing’s showpiece event although the Irishman is the first to win a Breeders’ Cup event seven times.Breeders’ Cup: Unquestionable wins Juvenile Turf for Aidan O’Brien after vets rule out River TiberAidan O’Brien’s Unquestionable has all the answers at Breeders’ Cup
River Tiber’s withdrawal by the Santa Anita vets on Friday clearly tested O’Brien’s patience. Officials weren’t happy with the stable’s No. 1 hope for the Juvenile Turf and while the trainer admitted to being disappointed, he diplomatically concluded: “If you’re in Rome, you don’t fight with the Pope.”
“I couldn’t believe how he was cantering on the dirt and I asked myself if we’d done the right thing and should we have been in the Classic,” O’Brien pondered after Saturday night’s victory.
