O'Donoghue delighted with Blanco Colm O'Donoghue could not be happier with Cape Blanco ahead of Saturday's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. The midsummer highlight, sponsored by Betfair, looks like being one of the hottest renewals in years with record-breaking Derby winner Workforce and his stablemate Harbinger in the line-up. But O'Donoghue, who is replacing the suspended Johnny Murtagh on the Irish Derby winner, is in high spirits ahead of the Group One. "I'm very confident and very happy with my horse going into the race," he said of the Aidan O'Brien-trained three-year-old. "He's in great order, he's in great shape. "He has possibly gone forward from his Irish Derby run and hopefully he can put up a very good performance. "Workforce is the Epsom Derby winner and a very good one at that. We have an awful lot of respect for him and I'm looking forward to taking him on again on Saturday," he told At The Races.
