Century poised to give O’Brien eighth Racing Post Trophy

Aidan O’Brien has three runners – Buonarroti, Century and Johann Strauss – as he goes for an eighth triumph in the final Group 1 race of the season in Britain today - the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster.

Century would appear to be his number one hope after being supplemented following a debut success at the Curragh just two weeks ago.

“We’re very happy with Century. Obviously he’s had just the one run but ran a nice race and won nicely. He was a bit green, slowly away, but he came through the field and learned plenty,” said the Ballydoyle trainer.
