Caravaggio out to enhance his reputation in Phoenix

Caravaggio bids to become the latest in a long line of Ballydoyle superstars to have landed the Keeneland Phoenix Stakes when he puts his huge reputation on the line at the Curragh tomorrow.

Trainer Aidan O’Brien has an astonishing record in the prestigious juvenile contest having saddled 14 of the last 18 winners.

The likes of Johannesburg (2001), George Washington (2005) and Holy Roman Emperor (2006) are among those on the roll of honour and Caravaggio will be extremely prohibitive odds to follow in their hoofprints having won each of his three starts to date in dominant fashion.
