International nerves for Golden Horn's owner Golden Horn's owner Anthony Oppenheimer has admitted he still gets nervous watching his pride and joy ahead of what looks an exceptional renewal of the Juddmonte International at York on Wednesday. Despite Golden Horn having already won the Derby and Eclipse this season, stretching his unbeaten record to five, the former president of the De Beers diamond group finds it hard to relax seeing his homebred in action. With the 10-furlong Group One billed by some as the race of the decade, Oppenheimer is likely to be even more jittery than usual as he is taking on a dual Guineas winner in Gleneagles, one the most impressive winners of Royal Ascot in Time Test and local hero The Grey Gatsby, last year's French Derby winner. "The horse is very well. I went to see him on Friday and he looked marvellous," said Oppenheimer of the John Gosden-trained colt. "It's easy to say anything, but one really doesn't know if this is his greatest challenge. All we know is that it looks to be a terribly exciting race and we're glad to be part of it. "Gleneagles is a very good horse and I'm sure he'll stay. I'm sure they would have liked to have kept him at a mile if they could, but the ground has gone against him. "I was at Roger Charlton's last week and saw Time Test. He's a gorgeous looking horse and is very smart, but whether he has the experience to take on the two more experienced horses, time well tell. "Dick Doughtywylie (whom Oppenheimer recently purchased to act as Golden Horn's pacemaker) has led the likes of Kingman and enjoys going off in front. He's there to make sure there are no hard-luck stories and to ensure a true-run race. "We wouldn't be at all worried about the ground as he goes on good to soft, rather than thick mud. "I still get nervous watching him, but he's done marvellously for us so far and it would be lovely if he could win again."
