Father and son to go head-to-head for Ebor Festival opening day

Aidan and Joseph O'Brien who twice teamed up as trainer and jockey to land York's richest race, the Juddmonte International, look set to go head to head with classic winners in the £1 million showpiece of the Ebor Festival on its opening day next Wednesday.

2,000 Guineas hero Saxon Warrior is on course for the race for Aidan O'Brien and the Coolmore Partners, while Joseph has confirmed his Irish Derby winner Latrobe is more likely to go for that race, rather than the Great Voltigeur Stakes over a furlong and a half further, for which he also holds an entry.
