00:00Aidan, thanks for joining us, and all the buzz for City of Troy has reached our shores.
00:06We've heard about how good he is, we've heard about what you think of him, but when did
00:09you start thinking about the Breeders' Cup Classic for him, and why the dirt instead
00:13of turf?
00:14Yeah, I suppose it was always on our mind, obviously, Bill, we've never won a Classic.
00:20We've been placed in it a good few times.
00:23It's obviously a race that we'd love to win, but we know that you need an exceptional horse
00:27to do it, really.
00:28Obviously he's by Justify, which makes it very exciting, and always made it look like
00:34he could be very special for us.
00:37So he's pacey, he's hardy, he stays, he's determined, he has all the things we think
00:44could have, and you could have to make it happen, but obviously it's a big ask to run
00:51on the dirt first time, and a horse that's not trained on it.
00:56We've went close with horses before, obviously, like a Giant's Causeway and those horses.
