Adelaide River potentially joining stablemate Auguste Rodin in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes at Ascot has not been ruled out by Aidan O'Brien.
Adelaide River's Impressive Grand Prix Performance
Adelaide River, a son of Australia, displayed a commendable performance as he finished second, only one length behind Feed The Flame, in the Grand Prix de Paris at ParisLongchamp on Friday evening.
Despite previously finishing eighth in the Derby and being the runner-up to Auguste Rodin in the Irish Derby, Adelaide River showed great determination as he maintained his position after being urged on by jockey Ryan Moore with a furlong and a half remaining in the one-and-a-half-mile race.
Soul Sister, the Oaks winner trained by John and Thady Gosden, finished just a neck behind in third place.
O’Brien said “He ran a fine race. We were very pleased with that. He stayed on well and Ryan was very happy with him, so we’re delighted.
“We’ll see how he comes out of it, but he is still in the King George. We will see how things go over the next few days, but he ran well and we’re very happy with him.”
Adelaide River's odds remain unchanged at 25/1, while King Of Steel and Auguste Rodin continue to be joint favorites for the all-aged middle-distance event.
