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.
