Duke of Marmalade Could Sweeten 2008 Breeders Cup - 09-20-08


September 20 - While the decision to run Duke of Marmalade - one of Ireland's and indeed the world's - top-rated turf horses in the 2008 Breeders' Cup Classic in Santa Anita, California rests with trainer Aidan O'Brien, horseracing fans will be holding thumbs that the Duke will be lined up at the starting gate.

With such as strong field already confirmed for the Breeders' Cup Classic (Gr 1) on October 24th, bookies and punters alike would love nothing more than to watch the 4-year-old Irish import strut his stuff against such American giants as Big Brown, Curlin and Casino Drive, Kip Deville, Colonel John and others.

It came to light this week that as a result of this year's Breeders' Cup Classic being run on a synthetic surface for the first time, the top-rated Irish trainer is considering running Duke of Marmalade in the 1 1/8 mile Thoroughbred Open Classic at Great Leighs Racecourse in Essex, England next Saturday.

Like the Breeders' Cup Classic, the Breeders' Cup Trial is run over a synthetic Polytrack and would provide Duke of Marmalade with an ideal 'practice' run ahead of the big American race. Opened in April this year, Great Leighs Racecourse has a distinct American feel with its left-handed 1 mile Polytrack course.

Of course, his announcement about the Thoroughbred Open Classic stunned English horseracing journalists who expected O'Brien to focus on getting Duke of Marmalade ready for the prestigious 2400m Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Gr 1) on October 5th, the biggest race on the French horseracing calendar.

Their reaction is understandable given that the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is a far more lucrative (with its 4 million euro purse) not to mention prestigious race than any Breeders' Cup trial.

Said Great Leighs director of communications, Pippa Cuckson, 'We are very pleased that Aidan O'Brien is considering our race which proves that if you provide the right opportunity, people will consider it.'
