O’Brien goes for Cadran option for Yeats

YEATS is one of five horses taken out of Sunday’s Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at the latest forfeit stage yesterday.

Aidan O’Brien left the four-time Ascot Gold Cup winner in the Longchamp race earlier in the week as an option but he’ll now go for the Prix du Cadran on the same card.

O’Brien also took out Hail Caesar but he still has Fame And Glory, Set Sail, Johann Zoffany and Grand Ducal to choose from.
