Congratulations Auguste Rodin!! You Punched Your Ticket BACK To The Breeders Cup!!❤😊

He finished 12th of 14 in the English 2000 Guineas. His answer to that was back to back wins in the Epsom Derby & Irish Derby. Then came a last of 10 finish in the King George. To which he responded with back to back wins in the Irish Champion Stakes & Breeders Cup Turf. Most recently came a last of 12 finish in the Dubai Sheema Classic. To which he answered strongly again with a 2nd in the Tattersalls Gold Cup and a win in the Prince of Wales's Stakes. The one thing about Auguste Rodin is there seems to be no middle ground at all with him. Whether winning or losing it's been all or nothing. Go big or go home. Aidan O'Brien has five horses that he trained that are all tied with 7 Group/Grade 1 victories each as the most for any horse/horses he's ever trained. They are Rock Of Gibraltar, Yeats, Minding, Magical, & Highland Reel. His win at Royal-Ascot made the 6th career G1 win to date for Auguste Rodin. Barring injury or something else unforseen that would end the season for him prematurely, it's almost hard to imagine his not being able to pick off two more G1 wins before the end of the 2024 flat season and take over the top spot by his lomesome as having the most G1 wins by any horse trained by Aidan O'Brien.
