The comparative racing outpost – America’s only solely turf racecourse – borders Tennessee and isn’t normally where US racing’s big beasts roam, never mind big guns from Europe. But thanks in part to revenue generated by an on-course casino Kentucky Downs has been able to offer astronomical prize money of close on $37 million at its latest series of meetings.
He ran in June’s Epsom Derby when seventh behind City Of Troy, and is joined by Stromberg, who finished third in Deauville on his last start. The Irish hope is a 6-1 shot in local Morning Line betting. “I have had Kentucky Downs in the back of my mind for a long time,” O’Callaghan told local media. “The prize money gets to a certain point, and you can’t ignore it. This race he is running in is worth four times what the traditional races back home are worth.”
With Browne McMonagle busy in the US Moore steps in for the Cambridgeshire spin on Wigmore Street, although once again his primary Curragh focus is on Ballydoyle’s hugely powerful juvenile squad.
