Oppenheimer undeterred by conditions ahead of Breeders’ Cup

says will overcome potentially softer ground on Saturday in the Breeders' Cup Turf at Keeneland.

Weather reports are suggesting that some rain could be expected in Kentucky over the weekend and this would evidently change the track conditions ahead of the showpiece event in the US.

Oppenheimer has chose not to run his charge on softer ground too much this season but, with this being the colt's last appearance before retiring to stud, the owner-breeder insists Golden Horn will be able to handle the elements.

He said: “I don't think the ground is a major concern. They are talking about it being good, maybe good to soft, and it's a different type of ground to say as it's quite sandy underneath.”

The three-year-old broke onto the scene by winning in just over a year ago and there have been a flurry of impressive victories ever since.

Golden Horn, with Frankie on board, has won the Investec , Coral-, Stakes, Irish Champion Stakes and the Prix De L' in what has been a sensational career.
