Exciting campaign lined up for Yeats

The attractive list of possible race targets for Yeats grew on Monday, when the Aidan O’Brien trained history-maker was confirmed as a possible runner in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on July 25. 

 

Just hours after it was confirmed that the staying champion may head for L’Arc de Triomphe in October, news broke that he was also being considered for the Betfair-backed Group 1 spectacle at Ascot.

 

Installed at a best-price of 25/1 for l’Arc following part-owner John Magnier speculating that the race may be a distinct possibility for the eight-year-old, bookmakers will now offer prices about the horse adding the King George to his unbelievable list of career achievements.

 

Following confirmation that Yeats had come out of his historic victory in the Ascot Gold Cup without any problems,  Aidan O’Brien suggested "plenty of options" for the star stayer: "He seems to be fine since Ascot and nothing has been decided for Yeats yet, but the King George, Goodwood Cup, Irish St Leger and the Arc and Cadran are all open for him."

 

Johnny Murtagh, who guided Yeats to his last two victories in the Gold Cup, made his feelings clear with regards to the Arc, and presumambly the 1m4f trip in general, when interviewed by the BBC on Friday.  Johnny Murtagh said: "He could win an Arc. When he gets into that high gear he is unstoppable. He can consistently run 11.5 second per furlong and that could win an Arc."

 

Yeats is currently a best-priced 25/1 (PaddyPower) to win the race at Longchamp, with 2000 Guineas and Derby winning hero Sea The Stars favourite at 4/1 (Ladbrokes).
