Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 13, 2019 Journalists Share Posted October 13, 2019 Arizona (Ire) (No Nay Never) and Wichita (Ire) (No Nay Never), second and third in Saturday’s G1 Darley Dewhurst S. behind Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal), could head for the Breeders’ Cup next. The duo were beaten two lengths and 2 3/4 lengths, respectively, in the Group 1 heat, with Arizona notably closing the gap with the winner after trailing him by nine lengths in the G1 National S. at The Curragh previously. Trainer Aidan O’Brien was satisfied with their performances and could now look to Santa Anita on Nov. 1 and 2 with the pair. He said, “Arizona ran well, as we were worried about the ground for him. He’s a nice-moving horse. Arizona and Wichita are both possibles for the Breeders’ Cup, although Wichita might be a little bit more of a baby as he wasn’t out until later.” The Ballydoyle handler also has Gx Royal Lodge S. winner Royal Dornoch (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) and listed victor Fort Myers (War Front) among his possible Santa Anita team. He added, “Royal Dornoch is another possible for the Juvenile and Fort Myers, who won in Dundalk, is another that could go. We’ll see how they are in the next few weeks.” The post O’Brien Quartet Possible for Breeders’ Cup appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
