City of Troy may be the favorite but the payout is nearly $200 for every $100 bet.
All of City Of Troy’s opponents are tried and tested on dirt, including Forever Young (nearly 6-1 odds), the big hope from Japan.
“It’s a totally foreign game, a different continent, different surface, different pace of the race, different stalls,” City of Troy trainer Aiden O’Brien said at the track on Thursday. “It has to be a big disadvantage to a horse but all we can do is hope that he’s good enough to overcome all these things.
“We’ve done as much as we can do in our own part of the world. We didn’t want to go from grass straight to dirt, we wanted to try on an in-between surface so that he would get a chance to acclimatise rather than have it so dramatic that he’d be shocked. That’s why [his racecourse gallop at] Southwell [in September] was perfect. Everyone was saying that it wasn’t like dirt, which it wasn’t, but it was different to grass.”
