Beyer declines to bet on City Of Troy for £5 million Breeders' Cup Classic

mirror.co.uk — October 31, 2024 at 12:01 PM UTC

Andy Beyer, a prominent horse racing analyst, will not bet on City Of Troy to win the £5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic. He cited the horse's trainer, Aidan O’Brien, who has not won the race in 17 attempts. Beyer, known for his Beyer Speed Figure ratings, discussed his views during a Breeders’ Cup webinar. He believes the hype around City Of Troy, a top European horse, may not translate to success on dirt. Instead, Beyer has chosen US horse Fierceness as his pick for the Classic. He noted that while City Of Troy is highly regarded, the trainer's poor record in this specific race influenced his decision.
