Jockey Gary Stevens backs City Of Troy for 2024 Breeders' Cup Classic win

express.co.uk — October 30, 2024 at 01:01 PM UTC

Gary Stevens, a Hall of Fame jockey, won the Breeders' Cup Classic after 15 attempts. He believes Aidan O'Brien's horse, City Of Troy, can finally secure a victory for the trainer, who has yet to win the prestigious race. Stevens recalls his past disappointments, including a notable loss to Arcangues in 1993. He returned to racing in 2013 and won the Classic on Mucho Macho Man, fulfilling a long-held dream. Now, Stevens is optimistic about City Of Troy's chances. He has closely followed the horse's career and thinks he is well-prepared for the race at Del Mar.
