Mastercraftsman to run at Dundalk

Mastercraftsman will go on Breeders' Cup trial in Dundalk's Diamond Stakes on Friday night.

Aidan O'Brien's Irish 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes hero will warm up for a possible Classic tilt at Santa Anita next month by running in the Group Three test over a mile and three furlongs.

O'Brien told the Racing Post: "Mastercraftsman is going to Dundalk to see how he handles the surface with a view to him running in the Breeders' Cup Classic.

"We'll probably run two others in the Dundalk race, Man Of Iron and Augustusthestrong."

If Mastercraftsman does get the green light for the Breeders' Cup Classic, he'll form a powerful two-pronged attack from Ballydoyle along with stablemate Rip Van Winkle.
