He will run in the UAE Derby then possibly head to KY. Gronkowski is expected to make a US prep. Not sure how these two compare to the American contenders but interesting nonetheless.

The surface at Dundalk is all-weather polytrack.
There is talk of a Dubai trip before Churchill.

The US prep is the best pre Derby move I've seen by a European trainer. See what you got in an American race before the big dance. Smart.

If a Euro colt is ever going to win the Derby I'd say its a safe assumption that the horse will be trained by Aidan.

Didn’t see that coming. Final raw time was astounding. Ryan Moore is going to the Derby. Good for him. He’s one of the best.

Usually those horses from Dubai are a toss, but w/O'brien training him, has to be respected. Track is juiced, but he broke the track record.

It does appear to be an all out "Juicefest", but, what a race anyway.. That was ultra impressive.

American breeding with Scat Daddy on top. He has been a solid sire due for a legit Derby contender.

They have geared this horse for the Kentucky Derby for a while. Will be a very very interesting entry, and will take a lot of money.
