Enigmatic George’s return will be fascinating

IF the three-year-olds at Ballydoyle have a lot to prove, then the same cannot be said of the older horses.

The likes of Dylan Thomas, Yeats and Alexandrova give Ballydoyle a particularly strong hand and then, of course, there is the enigmatic George Washington, now in training again.

“It’s lovely to have George back,” said O’Brien. “He got six mares in foal and there is a 30% chance he may get sorted for next year.”
