Do you know which 3, 4 and 5 year olds Aiden O'Brien will have in training in 2012, because his string is not in the 2012 Horses in Training book?

If you can list them that would be wonderful, thank you very much.

fame and glory for the ascot gold cup :)
cant wait for the new flat season.
 
Is that normal Sequoyah, or do they seem to have fewer older horses than most years?
 
I know it isn't the full list of 3 year olds, it's difficult to know unless you have access to the stable. But do you mean that there are other older horses?
 
Memphis Tennessee is the only 3 yr old of last year of note that I haven't been able to account for, I think I've seen all other 3 yr olds of note have either been sold, exported, or gelded !
 
Not all fo them (although not sure if some would count as "of note"!), there's also 4yo fillies retained in training (shock, horror....Ballydoyle girls not being whipped straight off to the breeding shed)
 
This is the full list of older horses:

5+ yr olds:

Fame And Glory
So You Think
Await The Dawn
St Nicholas Abbey
Windsor Palace
Grand Admiral

Colts (4 yr olds):

Apache
Brave Hearted
Excelebration
Harrison's Cave
Justification
Memphis Tennessee
Pirate Chest
Pirateer
Robin Hood
Treasure Beach

Fillies:

Eirnin
Empowering
Fairylike
Flavia Tatiana
Gemstone
Holy Alliance
Sing Softly
Why

Thank you all very much

I assume flat threads will start once Cheltenham is over? (I am a flat race fan)

Very much so! There is not the same intensity of pulling races apart for months on end but plenty of interesting threads. I'm mainly obsessed with the Irish flat racing.

Betfred are tonight reporting that they took a £100,000 bet on Camelot at 3/1 in one of their shops today to win the 2000 Guineas.

I find it hard to believe but something was definitely stirring with Camelot today.
