Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown
Friday, 3 September 2010: !FLAG:ireland.gif @ Ireland!
The G3 Kilternan over 2000m sees O'Brien saddle Steinbeck who seems to be striking form. Distant Memories and Noll Wallop could be the main challengers.
The first of the G1s is the Matron over 1600m with 7 runners and O'Brien's Lillie Langtry is just behind Music Shop in the betting - 11/4 and 15/8 respectively - and Bethrah at 5/1 is not friendless in this.
That is followed up by the Champion Stakes over 2000m has O'Brien represented by Rip van Winkle at 5/6 and Cape Blanco 9/2, with Henry Cecil's Twice Over fancied at 7/2.
