With a huge chunk of the 2008 season still remaining, Aidan O'Brien has already stamped his authority over next year's Classic markets with some sparkling performances by the Ballydoyle two-year-olds. A commanding performance in last month's Phoenix Stakes saw Mastercraftsman transpose Tyros Stakes winner Rip Van Winkle at the head of the 2000 Guineas betting, and the Ballydoyle 2009 troop is not just reserved for the milers. Masterofthehorse – the beautifully bred full-brother to Alexandrova was cut to 20-1 (from 40-1) for the 2009 Derby last night after a comfortable Listed victory at Gowran park, along with High Chapparel's full-brother Black Bear Island who cruised to victory in his maiden on Monday. With Ballydoyle currently dominating the 2000 Guineas betting with 6-1 favourite Mastercraftsman, and 8-1 second-in Rip Van Winkle, in addition to the top three in the betting in the 2009 Epsom Derby with 20-1 chances Black Bear Island, Masterofthehorse, and Rip Van Winkle, bookmakers William Hill make Aidan O'Brien as short as 2-5 to train the International classified top-rated two-year-old for 2008. Kate Miller, spokeswoman for Hills, said: "Not content with dominating the 2008 Flat season, Aidan is already setting his sights on 2009 glory with what appears to be an extraordinary batch of two-year-olds. Mouth-wateringly bred, and already proving themselves at the highest level as juveniles, Aidan looks ready to set next year's Classics on fire with a incredible stable of stars." |
