The Breeders' Cup is the destination for shocking 150-1 Royal Ascot winners Brave force According to Adrian Murray, who described the success of Molkerei, who described the success as “like a dream”, on June 25th.
Only a few had a better week than the West -Meath coach, who watched three of his strings to the royal meeting and the winner of the Norfolk Stakes (G2) Robust Buccanero Run a race full of promises if you have third place in the Coventry Stakes (G2).
There may be major days for Valiant Force, which could be in the youthberrint (G1T) Santa Anita Park in November after automatically qualified qualifications due to its success in Norfolk.
“It was incredible,” said Murray about Valiant Force's victory. “It was only breathtaking. He is a lovely horse. I had hoped that we would be in the first four. Its shape was very good, except for his course in the Curragh, where he just came on the wrong side of the route through which we pulled a line.
“I knew that he had gone to the race with 150: 1 and I couldn't believe it. I would only be a miniature coach, so he might have been shorter if a larger operation had him.”

A son of Malibu Moon, Valiant Force, took fifth place in the Marble Hill Stakes (G3) in the Curragh over six Furlongs after he was running out of the main action for most of the competition, and ended five lengths behind the revival Magical night And His majesty .
Valiant Force emphasized this form at ASCOT, travels with remarkable shell in the long-term group and broke the Furlong pole in a sensational way before finding a lot of pressure to keep the Richard Fahey-explored Malc .
Murray said: “The decline on five Furlongs might have helped him, but I would imagine that he would have had no problem with six, since Ascot would obviously be stiff five and he would have hit the line strenuous. Rossa (Ryan) said whether something had come to him, it was more in him.”
“The long -term plan with Valiant Force is the Breeders' Cup that suits him well because it is an American horse,” said Murray. “In the tiny term we give him and Bucanero had a little time before we make plans, but they are in all huge races and both got out of Ascot.”
Curragh Maiden winner Bucanero Fuerte only ended one length behind the winner River Tiber In the Coventry Stakes the pace was on the side of the stands.
Murray said: “When Bucanero took third place for us on the first day, it was almost as if he had a winner. He drove a fantastic race and is a very good horse. He is still huge and backwards and takes the whole time he needs, so it is electrifying.”
The triumph of Valiant Force was a pioneering success for coaches and owners, but Murray was interested in emphasizing how proud he was to provide Amo Racing with his Maiden Royal Ascot winner.
“It's like a dream! The first Royal Ascot winner from Kia (Jooorabchian) is simply incredible,” said Murray.
“I remember that we let Saliteh run last year and the boys said we had the right chance to train Kia's first winner at the meeting. He ran a great race, only 3 1/2 length in a blanket finish.
