Summary

Join Emmet Kennedy for an exclusive behind-the-scenes stable tour with legendary trainer Aidan O'Brien as he prepares his star-studded line-up for the 2024 Breeders' Cup. We delve into the final preparations at Ballydoyle, as the most successful international trainer in Breeders' Cup history talks us through the last stages of preparation for Classic favourite, City Of Troy, and discusses how the colt is handling the lead-up to tackling dirt for the first time. Aidan also reveals insights on a talented filly he's always believed was perfect for the Breeders' Cup. We cover an exciting roster of contenders, including the most talented two-year-old he's sent to America since Johannesburg won the Juvenile in 2001.
