High Definition set to head into winter as Derby favourite

Unbeaten O’Brien colt will not run again this year.
Aidan O’Brien is looking forward to a Classic campaign with High Definition in 2021, after confirming the unbeaten colt is finished for this campaign. The son of Galileo heads the market on next year’s Derby, having followed up his Curragh maiden win in August with victory back at the Kildare track in the Beresford Stakes – finishing to great effect on both occasions over a mile. O’Brien’s charge does hold an entry in the Vertem Futurity Trophy at Doncaster on Saturday week, but the Ballydoyle trainer said: “The plan always with High Definition was to give him two runs. That was his maiden and the Beresford, and we haven’t changed off of that.High Definition – that is obscene:
Two races
Two wins
G2 Beresford Stakes
Brother to 2019 Beresford hero Innisfree
Unbeaten High Definition could be a very exciting prospect for @Ballydoyle @curraghrace
