AOB has announced that Battle of Marengo wll run in the King Edward V11 at Ascot. Mars runs in the Tercentenary Stakes at Ascot also. U'd imagine this makes both very unlikely to be running at the Curragh on June 29th
Although some can say that he was flattered at Epsom and got the run of the race,I think he was just idling in front. Wachman hasn't declared whether he intends to run Galilieo Rock at the Curragh(Doncaster could be main target) Libertarian is very likely to be supplemented.
I think the 13/8 with Boyles and 6/4 with PP will disappear quickly as O'Brien's announcement is digested,should be trading shorter. Although the dangers of ante post betting were highlighted by Fahrr today
Ruler of the World was the best horse at Epsom, yes a few might have suffered interference by ROTW the likes of the French horse particularly would've been closer but the way Libertarian finished suggests the Curragh track will be much more more up his street, not as many turns plenty of time to get your horse on an even keel.
Wouldn't be overly surprised if Libertarian turned the tables but I won't be having a bet in yet another 4 or 5 horse race?

If you think it's going to be a 4/5 horse race,Why not back Libertarian each way at 9/2 with 1/5 odds for place terms 1,2,3. I covered my stake on Libertarian at 9/2 eg €100 @ 13/8 and €23 @ 9/2 Giving me 11/10 on Ruler of the world with money back if Libertarian wins.

fair point dj, tonnes of horses currently in the betting but come after Ascot and the field will just slowly dissipate, with of course the token O'Brien pacemaker to make up the numbers.
