ALL IN ORDER FOR O’BRIEN

AIDAN O’BRIEN broke his duck in the Breeders’ Cup Mile — and in style — as Order Of Australia sprang a shock to lead home a Ballydoyle 1-2-3 at Keeneland last night.

The 73-1 outsider got his chance only when One Master was scratched from the Grade 1 test on Thursday.

But he seized the opportunity to fend off stablemates Circus Maximus and Lope Y Fernandez and give PierreCharles Boudot — who got the call to ride after Christophe Soumillon tested positive for Covid — a double at the self-titled ‘World Championships’ of horseracing.

“Aidan told me before the race that he was a special horse for the mile and he was very confident,” said Boudot (above with Order Of Australia after victory).

The Frenchman had earlier deputised for another coronavirus victim, Ioritz Mendizabal, to land the Filly & Mare Turf aboard Audarya, a first-ever Breeders’ Cup runner for James Fanshawe.

Soumillon’s positive sample proved doubly costly as Tarnawa, his mount in the Breeders’ Cup Turf, swooped late for victory under stand-in Colin Keane.

Glass Slippers also stormed home to lift the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint under Tom Eaves.

It was Eaves and winning trainer Kevin

Ryan’s first Breeders’ Cup victory.

Alan King was the trainer to follow under both codes on the domestic scene with marquee wins at Doncaster and Wincanton.

King captured the final big race of the 2020 Flat season, the Betfair November Handicap, with On To Victory, 15 minutes after Sceau Royal had repeated his 2016 success in the Group 2 Unibet Elite Hurdle.

King came within a short head of landing Wincanton’s featured Badger Beers Silver Trophy as Potterman lost out in a photo to El Presente, landing his fourth victory of the campaign for Kim Bailey and David Bass.
