I think that was City of Troy’s best performance to date & I also think he’s beaten a very good horse in Calandagan. Looks like the Breeders Cup & he’s bred for the dirt. It’s hard to beat the American horses but this horse has a serious chance if he handles the surface.
Def his best performance is you understand what he did. Anything close to him on that pace absolutely melted. Going to the lead on turf, not dirt, is one of the hardest things to do. And he did it with ease and broke the track record by a second.
@@jackskerry2467 he does.. Hope that having an American dirt horse as his sire counts for something. But won't it be amazing if he does ? It would be an amazing , historical feat..
@@lestercharles8522 ..Yes it would be historic & it would be great for racing to see City of Troy become a true World Champion on turf & dirt. Let’s hope he stays healthy & continues to improve.
I'm from Kentucky 6th generation born and raised and have been following horses daily for almost 50+ years and my age is 56 because my father trained Horses in Kentucky then. USA has the Weakest BCC Division in over a Decade. City of TROY'S has nothing at all to worry about. FLIGHTLINE had a 143 Timeform Rating and Broke Sea the Stars Timeform ratings records just like City of Troy broke Sea the Stars Track Record. City of TROY'S only way of getting beat if on BCC day SPEED IS HOLDING WITH HUGE BIAS I CALL IT A CONVEYOR BELT. DELMAR IS BETTER THAN SANTA ANITA so a Speed Bias is Less likely regardless City of TROY'S CLASS WILL PREVAIL AS USA HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN HIS TOP TIER CLASS RANGE
He’s all class. To be put on the front-end of an assembled field of top class runners and then to lead mostly the entire trip- doing most of the work himself, finishing up extremely strong without tiring is the mark of a true true champion. In my opinion he’ll love the dirt. “City of Troy” is one of those rare horses that comes along every century.
Ryan Moore had that plan from the start as he's a 12 furlong horse so Ryan's plan lead & make it a quick 10 furlong race as he gets 12 furlongs. That's why he is the No1 jockey in the World.
Well then the GREATEST jockey in the world has surprised EVERYONE & Ryan said it wasn't the plan but he jumped out so I decided to go from the front. Yeah OK Ryan, you can flip all at the course BUT not buying it buddy. That was the plan as a tester for the BCC👍
COT beat a good field in the Juddmonte with the 2nd a good horse & the Arc winner Bluestocking proved herself to be a really good filly with her win in the Vermeille battling back to beat Adventure AGAIN.
That was fantastic 👏 am i mad to think with more encouragement calandagan could have got closer? Loved seeing ghostwriter in the 3 aswell, hes been incredibly consistent a credit to his connections.
Well I had my doubts after the eclipse but better ground making he's own running hrs turned them.away no problem he was going away at the finish Prob is the best cool more have trained I totally take my words back what I said after the eclipse And he broke track record We see how good he really is in the breeders cup And the best jockey in the world I was never worried once he controlled everything bluestocking who was beaten a fair way finished 2ndvin king George so form stands up I'm soooo pleased rab havlins horse was stuffed kicked off a young lad to put him on deserve all they get NOTHING
Love this horse like so many others I was disappointed in the Guineas and so many tv pundits want him beaten but he’ll keep on disappointing them with performances like this, well done ballydoyle
it will be very interesting to see this horse in the breeders' cup turf. he is the best horse in Europe, time to show that he is the best in the world.
Broke Sea The Stars track record of 2:05:29 in the 2009 Juddmonte international by almost a full second in a final time of 2:04:32. The track record was also broken by the 2nd place horse Calandagan. If memory serves, the day Sea The Stars broke the track record in 2009 so did Mastercraftsman who finished 2nd behind him that day at York.
@@Paul-xp4juWith 4 more lbs. On the front end. The entire way. This horse was running 12 second furlongs or less all the way around. Unbelievable.
@Silvereyedstacker The difference with Sea The Stars was that he wasn't leading and letting another horse do the pace setting and it was only a four horse race, I know it was good to firm ground although not sure how firm? And I don't know if he had a tail wind to assist?
I've been withholding my judgement as to the real quality of this horse. For me a horse is as good as his running times. That was a pulsating performance.. With that final time I'm convinced. Caught his stride early and never looked back...
Yes it is really tough to win from to win from the front like that sort of like Giants Causeway, maybe a bit more scope. I don't compare him to other horses - the way he battles out from the front.
If Aiden says he is the best horse he has ever trained, and he has trained some really great ones, then anyone who doesn't think he is the best thing since Frankel. Must be sick in their heads
Could they really beat this horse? I am of the opinion that they just can’t. “City of Troy is one of the rare horses who comes along in the right and at the right time. I am hoping that O’Brien and the lads at Coolmoore makes the correct decision of where and when they should run by. In my humble opinion, he should run in the “Arc” rather than the “ Breeders Cup. A race of the Highest of all Quality. The results will be the same.
As an American, let him come here. He’s the best turf horse in the world, and I’d love to see someone other than an American win the Classic. It’s harder to win the Classic for a European than it is to win the Arc. And I think this horse is finally the one for the Irish.
OBrien bent racing. Magnier et al have got a good tax free business. Stud fees are the most important thing. Oh we need 3 of the 5 runners to set the race up to increase the stud fees. I would cancel Irish from English racing. Exactly the same with Irish golf, constantly looking for their point 1.
Oh Dave, tut tut tut,, My but we are bitter about the Irish aren't we ? I live here in Spain now and have come across many Brits like you, absolute hate for Irish. When I ask them about their history in my country ( Ireland) they can tell me sweet F*"k all..... because they haven't a clue about their "dark past". Some lovely English people here as well ,their not all cut from the same cloth. But my god have I come across some arrogant ones........just like you son 😉

What a Horse.... City of Troy is Magnificent ❤❤
That was a brilliant performance by City of Troy. Most of the field were over 10L behind, and he broke the track record.
He’s all class. To be put on the front-end of an assembled field of top class runners and then to lead mostly the entire trip- doing most of the work himself, finishing up extremely strong without tiring is the mark of a true true champion.

Strangely I love Moore and Chapman words after race…..know most can’t stand either but personally love the juxtaposition.
City of Troy amazing horse
Good form. Champion stakes win to prove City of Troy is the best.
Super Moore quando corrri tu il sole non osa.tramontare❤❤❤

Treble on the day for the untouchables.
Ryan worked hard to keep him straight and it shows how well he can run when he's not drifting to the side.
I agree he is also future champion
Moore rocks❤

No chance... if you look closely, Troy was pulling away again at the 100
Calabdagan needed stronger handling but Troy wasn't stopping.

@@hamiltonwiltshire8503 trainer knows best
The race was one mile and 5 sixteenths.
BCC is mile and a quarter; 4 sixteenths.
What difference does that make? City Of Troy won over 12 furlongs at Epsom, he's bred to get at least 10 furlongs.
Impressive.

One of the most over hyped horses in recent history, and probably one of the mismanaged?
Breeders cup bound
Is he the greatest since Nijinsky?
No that would be golden fleece above nijinsky
