Powerscourt targeted for Breeders' Classic

Aidan O’Brien is likely to have a crack at the Breeders’ Cup Classic with Powerscourt when the meeting takes place at Lone Star Park in Texas later this month.

The four-year-old could face a tough task in the October 30 contest, though, as his rivals may include last year’s winner Pleasantly Perfect and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe winner Bago.
