Auguste Rodin starting on Triple Crown trail as favourite for 2,000 Guineas

Auguste Rodin will head 14 horses set to line up in Saturday’s QIPCO 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket where victory could set up a rare Triple Crown challenge.

The colt is one of two runners for ten-time race-winning trainer Aidan O’Brien who will also saddle Little Big Bear in the first Classic of the season.

The English Triple Crown – the QIPCO 2,000 Guineas, Betfred Derby and Betfred St Leger - has not been won since Nijinsky in 1970, trained at O’Brien’s Ballydoyle stables by his predecessor Vincent O’Brien.
