What the Nation is saying about Await The Dawn...

The Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic winner, Royal Delta, looked phenomenal in Dubai on Wednesday. She has the same look she did before her big win at Churchill Downs in November, and was just striking today when on the Tapeta. As always, our thanks to Cedric Lane for the photos. These and others are a...Read More
Midday won the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf in '09 and was runner-up in that event last year, but her connections switch gears and shoot for more money in the $3,000,000 BC Turf this time around. The 5-year-old mare has captured seven group/graded events in her illustrious career and has bank...Read More
Day one of the serious Breeders’ Cup handicapping is complete, and have I got a winner for you ... I believe in eight days, we will be adding Sea Moon to this impressive list. Read More

  • orangeman88 · I strongly believe that Midday hangs in the stretch and can never be trusted to take the top spot. St. Nick seems a cut below the others. I too like Sea Moon and Sarafina. How are people treating ATDs poor Judmontte International? Does he get a redo? Midday made him look second class there. · 208 days ago ·

He is pre-entered in the BC Classic and Turf
  • medlocke · @josh.atkinson2, According to a story on England's Racing Post web-site today, So You Think is going to be Europe's sole representative in the BC Classic, and Await The Dawn will represent Ballydoyle in the BC Turf. Back when Await The Dawn was winning the G2 Hardicke Stakes back in June, I would've almost been willing to bet that it would've been the other way around. Await The Dawn running in the BC Classic and SYT running in the BC Turf. Because at the time, John Magnier seemed really high on Await The Dawn's chances in this year's BC Classic. · 211 days ago ·

I'm a little disappointed that Await The Dawn isn't going to get to run in this year's G1 Champion Stakes at Ascot, nor will he likely run in the G1 BC Classic next month at Churchill Downs, either? Would've loved for this horse to have gotten a chance to make amends for his disappointing 3rd place effort in the G1 Juddmonte International Stakes at York back in August. A race where it was found out that Await The Dawn had a very high fever after the race. But you still can't really blame Aidan O'Brien for feeling like So You Think will give the stable a stronger chance of winning both the Champion Stakes and BC Classic than Await The Dawn likely would. But I still believe this horse has a ton of still untapped potential because of still being so lightly raced. I say go ahead and winter Await The Dawn, and bring him back fresh at the beginning of the 2012 season. TJMO.
  • MariahFan · I hope he runs in the BC Classic, he has great BC history with his pedigree. I don't wanna see a good horse like this go to waste. · 217 days ago ·

Think about it. Tiznow beat Giant's Causeway in the BCC a few years ago. Now their sons, (Await the Dawn, Tizzway) are competing against eachother. May the best horse win!
Let’s be honest, this year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic (gr. I) needs a boost, especially with Zenyattamania and even a double dose of Curlin still fresh in everyone’s mind. The most obvious boost would be the inclusion of Havre de Grace. Even better would be a showdown between Havre de Grace and Blind L...Read More
CAPE BLANCO is likely to bid for a hat-trick of Grade 1 wins in the United States with trainer Aidan O’Brien on Sunday confirming that the Joe Hirsch Memorial Turf Classic over 1m4f at Belmont Park on October 2 is under serious consideration for the four-year-old.Read More

  • medlocke · @tiznow, Very much agree!! Someone commented to me that Acclamation should be ahead of Cape Blanco right now in the running for champion American turf horse. But if Cape Blanco ships back over from Ireland and win's either the Joe Hirsch or B.C. Turf, I don't know how he couldn't win the award? · 261 days ago ·

TWICE OVER gave jockey Ian Mongan the biggest success of his career as he caught stablemate Midday in a Sir Henry Cecil-trained one-two finish to the Juddmonte International Stakes. In the build upto the Group 1, Cecil had been at pains to point out that Twice Over, a three-time Group 1 winner and f...Read More

  • orangeman88 · Great call on Sea Moon, that was impressive. I think he has a great shot in the St. Ledger. Seville just doesn't have the killer instinct. I think Midday also hangs a bit when she gets the lead. How many times does she seem to be on her way to victory only to get passed at the wire? She is a great mare but I would never trust her to win. · 282 days ago ·

Is Aidan O’Brien loaded this year? Are baked potatoes with cheddar cheese, bacon, garlic, butter, and sour cream loaded?

AIDAN O’BRIEN is dreaming of a first Breeders’ Cup Classic success after Await The Dawn impressed with victory in Saturday’s Hardwicke Stakes on the final day of Royal Ascot. The Ballydoyle colt, who had won the Huxley Stakes at Chester, took the step up to a mile and a half in his stride. Under Rya...Read More
Aidan O'Brien and Await The Dawn co-owner, John Magnia, announced post-Harwicke Stakes today at Ascot that Await The Dawn will be coming over from Ireland to run in this year's Breeders Cup Classic at Churchill Downs. 5 win's in 6 lifetime start's for Await The Dawn, with back to back win's in the G3 Huxley Stakes at Chester and the G2 Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot. I would submit that Await The Dawn is every bit as talented as any of O'Brien's 4yr.old's. To include Cape Blanco and St Nicholas Abbey. Await The Dawn is by Giant's Causeway. Who very nearly won the B.C. Classic himself at Churchill Downs in 2000. Out of Valentine Band. A mare by Dixieland Band, who was also a beast on conventional dirt in his day. So, while Await The Dawn has been racing and winning on the turf in Europe, he's also got an excellent conventional dirt pedigree. In a year where there's no real stand out star among the older American horses with the retirement of Zenyatta, Blame, Lookin At Lucky, and Quality Road. And what is overall a fairly weak crop of 3yr.old's. Await The Dawn, IMO, will have a very legit shot at winning this year's Breeders Cup Classic for Ireland. This horse reeks of pure class. His win's in the Huxley and the Hardwicke were romps.!! TJMO.
