O’Brien considering starting point for Derby favourite High Definition
Classic trial could be favoured over 2000 Guineas.
Aidan O’Brien is favouring a Derby trial over a tilt at the 2000 Guineas with his unbeaten colt High Definition. An impressive winner on his racecourse debut at the Curragh in the summer, the son of Galileo subsequently rocketed to ante-post favouritism for Epsom after storming home to win the Group Two Beresford Stakes in September. O’Brien deliberately decided against running his charge in one of the end-of-season Group Ones and is excited to see what he can accomplish as a three-year-old. Speaking on a press conference to discuss the European two-year-old classifications, O’Brien said of High Definition: “He’s a big, rangy horse with an unbelievably long stride. He’s uncomplicated and has a good mind and has done very well over the winter.HIGH DEFINITION (Galileo) stays on from miles back to give Aidan O’Brien a 10th successive win in the Beresford Stakes at @curraghrace! pic.twitter.com/4GPJmw7H2i
