2000 Guineas: Aidan O’Brien discusses his Classic chances

Just over a week ahead of the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, Betfred - the Classic bookmaker - caught up with leading trainer Aidan O'Brien to get the lowdown on his main hopes for the race.

Aidan O'Brien tells Betfred he might rely on Group 1 winner Twain in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on May 3.

The 55-year-old spoke highly of the three-year-old son of Wootton Bassett, who is pleasing the Ballydoyle boss at home, going as far as to say he "could be a Triple Crown horse."

Betfred, proud sponsor of all five British Classics, are offering £2m to connections of any horse that completes the trifecta - the 2000 Guineas, Derby and St Leger - this season.

O'Brien said: "It would mean everything [to have a Triple Crown winner]. It's very difficult to do. Camelot nearly did it.

"It's different distances, different tracks, different surfaces, different undulations. I think it would be out of this world - but I think that's what makes it so intriguing. It's incredible that Fred and Betfred have decided to do it, it makes it so exciting."

"For racing in general, I think it's going to make a massive difference."
