After race at Leopardstown Sat, 14th Sep, 2024 (1st)  He's a lovely, straightforward, genuine horse,. He has pace enough for a mile and will probably get a mile-and-a-quarter. He's a lovely relaxed, uncomplicated horse. Christophe (Soumillon) rode him (in the French Guineas) and said ''this horse is going to win a Group 1 very quick' after it. Then it just went a little bit wrong on us. We went to the French Derby, and it was the wrong thing as it was too quick. Then I went up to a mile-and-a-half at Ascot, which was the wrong thing as well. He's a speed horse, he's probably a miler that will get a mile-and-a-quarter. He could go to a Breeders' Cup Mile or the Cox Plate. Adelaide was third in a trial in France on this weekend (ten years ago) and he won the Cox Plate. A P O'Brien

After race at Leopardstown Thu, 18th Jul, 2024 (1st)  He ran a lovely race in the French Guineas and then we went to the French Derby with him, Ryan just said maybe over a mile-and-a-quarter we rode him too forward and the pace of the race didn't work out for him. We went to Ascot over a mile-and-a-half and we felt very much coming from Ascot that he's not a mile-and-a-half horse. He's made like a miler so he's probably and eight, nine or ten furlong horse. He loved the ground. We ran him back quick because we wanted to know where to go with him in the Autumn. Ryan said he has all the class in the world and all the speed in the world. He could be a Cox Plate horse and we'll see what we do in between with him. He's definitely not short of pace. He was different today. In the French Derby Ryan said he was caught wide and was in a position where he didn't want to be through the whole race. He came in a said 'put a line through it'. We went to Ascot and there was pace on and it was going to be a very strong run mile-and-a-half, and we felt that wasn't him. He looks like a miler. We're delighted with him. He has a lot of options and at least we know now what to do in the Autumn. We'll give him a little bit of time now. A P O'Brien

After race at Leopardstown Sat, 9th Sep, 2023 (1st)  We're very happy. We liked the second horse a lot and we knew we needed something to take him and stretch him a little bit,. They didn't go very fast for the first half and turned it on from halfway, so he learned a lot. Ryan was delighted, he said he had to catch hold of him and make him learn. He's still a baby. We were surprised the first day that he ran in the Curragh how babyish he was, he never took a hold of the bridle. Today he was green as well, but a lot better. We think the race will leave him in a very good place. I'd imagine he'll go for the Racing Post Trophy, that's what we thought he would do. We think he's going to step up loads from it but we were very happy with what he did today. The plan was to come here and then go to the Racing Post. We did it with Auguste Rodin last year, but we knew this horse had to learn a lot more than Auguste did last year. He was extra green at the Curragh and we knew unless he was going to learn a lot this time it was going to be very hard to pitch him into a good race after that. We think he will. A P O'Brien

After race at Curragh Sat, 12th Aug, 2023 (1st)  We had him ready to run about a month ago and he got a little injury so we had to stop and start again. He was just ready to come racing today,. We wanted to get him out. Ryan said he was very babyish but he obviously has a massive engine. He doesn't even know what he's at yet. He said he only came on the bridle with 50 yards to go, he said he only realised he was racing then. (The blustery weather) is not ideal for a first time out two-year-old. We felt with him at home he could go anywhere but looking at today you'd like to give him another run somewhere before he goes for a big one. He was absolutely half speeding with horses (at home) and came today and didn't take hold of the bridle. That can happen first time. It happened to Paddington first time in Ascot last year, he never took a hold of the bridle. He's probably going to come on and learn a lot from it. A P O'Brien
