Aidan O’Brien was left disappointed after star juvenile City of Troy failed to fire in the 2000 Guineas on Saturday, finishing ninth of the eleven runners.
The Aidan O’Brien-trained Whistlejacket earnt quotes of 7/1 with Paddy Power for the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot, after landing the Listed Gain First Flier Stakes at the Curragh on Monday.
Whilst Richard Hannon would have been disappointed not to add a second 2000 Guineas to his CV, it could be an exciting season for the Marlborough-based trainer with both the second and third, Rosallion and Haatem, aiming for the Irish equivalent.
