      October 25th Summary : 
     
    • Profile Ratings for the Group events are in the tables below.
    • The Preview for the Dewhurst Stakes last week laboured the point that Aiden O'Brien had run most of his best '3yo Miler' prospects in the race in recent seasons but hadn't actually won it since Rock Of Gibraltar beat two stablemates in a photo finish in 2001. His representative this year - Rip Van Winkle - was sent off at 6/4f (drifted on the day) despite lacking the Group race experience of his best recent runners in that event and having been prepared for several races in which he didn't run and the trainer making a point that this was less than ideal preparation. He didn't look mentally ready enough on the day and jockey Murtagh, in effect, only pushed the accelerator a little to see what would happen after he got too far behind and then coasted home in 6th. 
    • A couple of interesting points come out from that general discussion. The first is how the best of the sprinter/miler 2yos seem to be identified by O'Brien by April each year and they usually prove to be the best juveniles and the top longer term Group 1 types. However, he seems to have subtlely changed his approach and brings the 2yos on more slowly overall and has a less good record in the British championship events for 2yos.
    • When Brian Boru won the Racing Post Trophy in 2002 it was his third in a 4 years following success for Our Aristotle & High Chaparral. Since then he has run the following in the 8f Group1 :-
      • Magritte - 11/4 when 3rd of 4 to American Post in 2003. 
      • Albert Hall (2nd at 5/2) & Hills Of Aran (4th at 11/1) in 2004.
      • Septimus (5/6 fav, 3rd to Palace Episode) with Mountain a non-runner in 2005
      • Eagle Mountain (8/11 fav, 4th), Red Rock Canyon (25/1 & 8th, still a maiden & running in the Breeders' Cup Classic today in his pacemaker role), Great Sphinx (12th at 100/1) & Malacara (13th at 100/1) in 2006.
      • Frozen Fire (8th at 5/1) & King Of Rome (11th at 9/1) in 2007.
    • So, a mix of abilities among the runners but no winner and two beaten at odds-on. Again possible to propose that the overall slower development of the 2yos has led to them being less well prepared for this test. The two he ran in the race last year both finished well beaten yet they have each won Group races as 3yos in 2008. O'Brien runs three in the race this year with Group 2 placer Masterofthehorse the first string. The other pair - Indian Ocean & Set Sail - were both intended runners in the Group 2 8f Royal Lodge at Ascot at the end of September but missed that event because of travel problems.
