Aidan O’Brien looking to add to tally of 14 Group One victories so far in 2022
Order Of Australia is due to line up in the 10-furlong Cup event while another veteran, Broome, will take his chance in the mile and a half Vase, a €2.4 million contest that O’Brien has won three times in the past.
“We were delighted with him in the Breeders’ Cup, he ran a very good race and had progressed from his previous run at Ascot,” O’Brien said on Thursday. “We had it in our heads that we might go to the Japan Cup [but] it just came maybe a week or two too early and that’s why we waited. “He’s been running all the time over a mile but we always thought stepping up over a mile and a quarter would improve him more. He’s obviously by Australia and we’re very happy with him.“He has won over seven furlongs twice as well, so we kept him at a mile after the Breeders’ Cup win [in 2020], but we’d think there’s a pretty good chance that [10 furlongs] will be fine,” O’Brien commented.
