Auguste Rodin won again in America at the weekend
Aidan O'Brien was among the big winners at the Breeders’ Cup meeting at Santa Anita over the weekend where his dual Derby hero and Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes winner Auguste Rodin landed the 12-furlong Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf.
The Ryan Moore-ridden 9/4 favourite beat local hope Up To the Mark by three-parts of a length with Japanese contender Shahryar half a length away in third place.
The win saw O'Brien become the first trainer to win the same Breeders’ Cup race seven times and came 24 hours after his Unquestionable, another ridden by Ryan Moore, had beaten his own stable companion Mountain Bear to take the Juvenile Turf at odds of 6/4 favourite.
O'Brien now has 18 Breeders’ Cup winners to his name while Moore’s tally stands at 14.
At little closer to home, at Wetherby on Saturday, the Mouse Morris-trained Gentlemansgame got the better of Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up Bravemansgame to win the Grade 2 Charlie Hall Chase, a first Irish success in the race since Frances Crowley won with Sackville in 2001.
Having just his third run over fences, the Darragh O'Keeffe-ridden seven-year-old scored by a length and three-quarter at odds of 7/2.
