O'Brien looking for double strike

Aidan O’Brien declared himself happy with the final blow-outs for both Dylan Thomas and Excellent Art ahead of the Hong Kong International Races at Sha Tin on Sunday.

Dylan Thomas makes his farewell appearance in the Hong Kong Vase as the four-year-old, ridden by Johnny Murtagh, looks to add another Group One victory to the King George, Irish Champion Stakes and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe he has already captured this season.
