Coolmore won the battle in getting Justify to stand in Kentucky at their Ashford Stud. He's had a couple of GISW/GISPs on dirt from his first two crops, Arabian Lion and Verifying. But it looks like he may be just as good, or better, with his turf runners. He had Statuette (GII) in Ireland last season, and this year Aspen Grove came to the US to win the GI Belmont Oaks. This weekend, he had Ramatuelle win the GII Prix Robert Papin in France, and in the most impressive fashion, his son City Of Troy won the GII Superlative Stakes at Newmarket.
City Of Troy's dam is Together Forever, a Coolmore product herself by Galileo out of a Theatrical mare. Watch the way this horse runs, I'm not much for knowing physicality/conformation but he just has a powerful way of moving. Definitely one to watch!
Be sure to listen to Aidan O'Brien being interviewed after each race.

Fun to guess who improves at 3yo and 4yo. Frankel was 126 at 2yo, 136 at 3yo and 140 at 4yo. Flightline was 140 in 2022.
