O'Brien stilltrying to come to terms with Cat defeat

AIDAN O’BRIEN was yesterday still trying to come to terms with the defeat of One Cool Cat at the Curragh on Saturday, expressing disbelief at the three-year-old's poor performance in only taking fifth place to Red Feather.

The colt looked distinctly unenthusiastic again, never threatening to play a part at the business end of the contest.

“I didn’t think it would happen again”, exclaimed O’Brien, a reference to One Cool Cat’s dreadful effort earlier in the season in the English 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.
