A powerful team of eight left Ballydoyle this afternoon bound for Arlington Park, Chicago and the Breeders' Cup. They included the record-breaking Rock Of Gibraltar, with trainer Aidan O'Brien confirming a decision on his participation in either the Mile or Classic will not be made until the last moment.
Joining the Sir Alex Ferguson-owned colt on the flight to America, were Hawk Wing, High Chaparral, and Landseer, along with the two-year-olds Hold That Tiger, Van Nistelrooy, Tomahawk and Marino Marini, who is first reserve for the Juvenile event.
