(video). With exercise rider David Nava in the irons, Just like Camelot (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) last year, Animal Kingdom broke off Kingsbarns (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) arrives on Doncaster=s about three lengths behind Town Moor with a buzz surrounding him as he bids to his workmate Badleroibrown provide Ballydoyle with back-to-back renewals of the (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}) and G1 Racing Post Trophy today. Impressive on testing steadily drew on even terms ground when recording a at the quarter pole before seven-length debut success finishing a length in front over a mile at Navan while never asked for a Oct. 10, Susan Magnier, serious effort.

AThis is a massive step up from a his Kentucky Derby victory, rides potential favorite maiden at Navan to a Group 1,@ he told PA Sport. AIf he Wise Dan (Wiseman=s Ferry). was just to run a very nice race, we=d be pleased. He Breeders= Cup Bulletin cont. p7 was quite green on his debut at Navan, but he still won very easily in the end. It usually takes a nice horse to win this race. He=s coming back quite quick from just having his first run, so if he was to run well we=d be happy.@ Some might be surprised to see Kingsbarns head Jim Bolger=s G3 Autumn S. scorer Trading Leather (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) in the betting, especially as the latter=s trainer made public his high regard for his homebred at Newmarket a fortnight ago. That defeat of the much-vaunted Richard Hannon trainee Montiridge (Ire) (Ramonti {Fr}) and another promising Ballydoyle colt in Eye of the Storm (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was another step up from a highly promising debut second in the Listed Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf Trial S. at Leopardstown Sept. 8 and seven-length maiden win at Gowran Park Sept. 23. Saeed Manana=s unbeaten Van Der Neer (Ire) (Dutch Art [GB}) was also supplemented alongside Kingsbarns this week, and trainer Richard Hannon has several smart yardsticks to measure his ability against at home. Brought out quickly after his success in a seven-furlong Leicester conditions event last Tuesday, his conditioner=s faith speaks volumes.

Indy) makes his much-anticipated return to the races in today=s GII Fayette S. at Keeneland, a prep for the Nov. 23 GI Clark H. at Churchill Downs. Though best known for his front-running upset in the GI Florida Derby Mar. 31, the son of MGISW Take Charge Lady (Dehere) was effective in three starts on Polytrack to begin his career, including a maiden win and runner-up effort in the GIII Arlington-Washington Futurity and a decent fourth to Dullahan (Even the Score) in this track=s GI Dixiana Breeders= Futurity last October. The dark bay is unraced since undergoing surgery after finishing well down the field in the GI Kentucky Derby May 5. Middie (Officer) is something of a wild card here and brings a record of three wins from four tries over synthetics. An allowance winner at this meet 366 days back, he has since added a 14-1 upset in the GIII Washington Park H. Sept. 1 and an allowance score here Oct. 6. When last Newsdad (Arch) tried this Poly, he set a track record for a mile and a quarter (2:00 3/5) in winning an allowance last October. The Karp homebred has been off the board in four starts since annexing the grassy GII Pan American S. Mar. 24 and was last seen finishing fifth in the GII Bowling Green S. at Belmont Sept. 8.
