This horse is AOB's best chance to win the premier dirt race on the calendar.
He has tried many times, and never came closer than with Giant's Causeway.
It's a race I'll never forget, with the internet in it's early years, I managed to get
30/1 ante post odds here in the US. His neck defeat cost an associate and
myself close to $30K. We still talk about that to this day - 24 years later.
Just like today, AOB used Southwell for the trial run.
The Justify colt passed the test readily. "All stations go".
I won't get near the same odds on City Of Troy this time.
But I may have a punt :)
