Options aplenty for Los Angeles

Los Angeles, who won the Great Voltigeur Stakes at York during the week, is set for a busy autumn campaign.

The Irish Derby winner saw off stablemate, Illinois, by a neck in that Group 2 on the Knavesmire on Wednesday and Aidan O'Brien has mapped out his possible options for the rest of the season.

He said: “He could go to either the St Leger or the Irish Champion Stakes. Obviously if he’s going to the Arc, he could go for the Irish Champion Stakes.

“Auguste Rodin could go there as well with Luxembourg. That’s a little bit of a change this week.

“We’ll see what the ground is going to be like at Doncaster and there are three other horses that could run in the St Leger if he (Los Angeles) didn’t run there.

“He seems to have come out of the race (in York) well. We’ll see what happens over the next couple of weeks.”
