Aidan O'Brien, trainer of Churchill and Caravaggio among others

We are very happy with Churchill and the plan is to send him straight to Newmarket once everything goes well over the next few weeks. Caravaggio has never raced beyond six furlongs, so before asking him to go a mile we are looking at running him in the Listed Patton Stakes over seven furlongs at Dundalk and see how things go. He had a minor hold-up after winning the Phoenix Stakes and we just ran out of time with him.
