The Coolmore partners' Minnie Hauk (Frankel) is under consideration for the GI Breeders' Cup Turf in November, Aidan O'Brien has revealed.
The winner of the G1 Oaks, G1 Irish Oaks, G1 Yorkshire Oaks and second in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, the bay was just touched off in that ParisLongchamp cornerstone.
“Minnie is very good, everything seems well with her and it's possible she could be trained for the Breeders' Cup Turf,” O'Brien told the PA news agency. “It would be good to see her in that, it's a possible and obviously she has to go through her work and everything perfectly.”
Second to Minnie Hauk in the Oaks, Whirl (Wootton Bassett) will not be seen again this season. A winner of the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes in late June, the daughter of Salsa (Galileo) added the G1 Nassau Stakes in July before running sixth in the G1 Prix Vermeille.
“Whirl is finished for the year. It's possible she could stay in training, in the last month they [the owners] will decide on the ones who stay in training,” said O'Brien.
