The Aidan O’Brien-trained Auguste Rodin is reported in ‘fine form’ ahead of his LAST EVER career run this weekend as the 2023 Epsom Derby winner will be looking to go out on a high in the Japan Cup.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Auguste Rodin Prepares For Japan Cup Bid With Tokyo Racecourse Gallop<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Having won eight of his 15 career races, the high class Auguste Rodin,<\/strong> who is trained in Ireland by Aidan O’Brien, will be hoping for one final win this weekend.<\/p>\n

His final race will come in the 2024 Japan Cup in Tokyo – a race that’s been a target since he was beaten a neck in the Irish Champions Stakes by Economics on the 14th September at Leopardstown.<\/p>\n

He also won the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. However, after that was beaten into fifth in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. He’ll also be taking on the winner of that race – Goliath – again in the Japan Cup.<\/p>\n

The 4 year-old has travelled over well – with Aidan O’Brien saying\u00a0 after his Tokyo gallop (watch below).<\/p>\n

\u201cHe did a lovely seven furlongs on the grass this morning, just to show him the track, and he looked comfortable. Rachel (Richardson, rider) was happy with him, Patrick (Keating), who takes care of him, said he came back to the barn in good condition. We\u2019re all pleased with how he is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a horse that has speed and class, has long strides and big actions and is great at the mile-and-a-half distance, so I think the course here at Tokyo and the Japan Cup will suit him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Regular rider Ryan Moore will make the trip over to ride Auguste Rodin.<\/p>\n

The best horse racing betting sites in the UK<\/a> will also have markets on the 2024 Japan Cup for anyone looking to place a wager on Auguste Rodin winning his final every race.<\/p>\n
