O’Brien confident of Arc glory with Fame

AIDAN O’BRIEN appears in confident mood as he prepares Fame And Glory for what looks set to be a third clash with Sea The Stars in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on Sunday week.

The Montjeu colt had to settle for the runner-up spot as Sea The Stars took the glory in the Derby at Epsom, but enjoyed his day in the sun when running out a wide-margin winner of the Irish equivalent.

Sea The Stars again came out on top when the pair locked horns in the Irish Champion Stakes earlier this month, but O’Brien has taken plenty of heart from that performance given it was Fame And Glory’s first run in over two months.
