RACING:AIDAN O'BRIEN and Ryan Moore team up at Chantilly tomorrow where the Irish 2,000 Guineas winner, Roderic O'Connor, will attempt a Classic double in the French Derby.
The Irish colt is one of 16 lining up for the €1.5 million Prix Du Jockey Club over an extended 10 furlongs where the overseas challenge also includes Godolphin’s Casamento.
“He’s in good form and we always thought that he would definitely get a mile and a quarter. Usually a horse that gets a mile at the Curragh will get a mile and a quarter. We would be hopeful,” O’Brien said yesterday.
The race is scheduled to start at 2.08pm Irish time.
