Westmeath trainer, Adrian Murray, is feeling hopeful about his chances at the upcoming Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar. He is excited about the two horses he trains for Amo Racing, Arizona Blaze and Hill Road, both of whom he believes can exceed expectations.
Arizona Blaze, a battle-hardened horse with multiple top-four finishes and a Group Three win under his belt, is in great shape according to Murray. The trainer is confident in the horse’s experience and ability to handle different race conditions, especially after a successful run at Dundalk.
Hill Road, on the other hand, will be facing dirt for only the third time in his career. Despite a tough start in Group One company, Murray is optimistic about the horse’s chances on the new surface. With Hill Road’s class and adaptability, the trainer is looking forward to a strong performance from him at the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.
Oisín Murphy, a successful jockey with over 200 wins worldwide, is also gearing up for the Breeders’ Cup with two quality mounts. He is excited about riding New Century, a horse already boasting a win at the highest level this season. Despite a challenging draw, Murphy is confident in New Century’s abilities and hopes for a smooth lead-up to the race.
Murphy will also be partnering with Beautiful Love, a horse from Charlie Appleby’s stable with significant experience in American races. Murphy is looking forward to the opportunity to ride Beautiful Love and is confident in her form and readiness for the Filly & Mare Turf race.
Overall, both Murray and Murphy are looking forward to the Breeders’ Cup with optimism and confidence in their horses’ abilities to perform well. With strong contenders and high hopes, they are prepared for the challenges and excitement of the prestigious event at Del Mar.
