Fame on Ballycullen road Ascot Gold Cup winner Fame And Glory will drop in both class and trip to have his next race in the Ballycullen Stakes at the Curragh on August 20. Aidan O'Brien's five-year-old stepped up to two and a half miles for the first time in the Gold Cup but oozed class in beating Opinion Poll, who subsequently won the Goodwood Cup, by three lengths. His next race will be over a mile and three-quarters in the Listed event as O'Brien builds towards a possible crack at the Arc. The trainer's wife, Annemarie, tweeted: "Fame And Glory will hopefully have his next run in the Ballycullen Stakes at the Curragh on August 20." There was also news on Man o'War winner Cape Blanco and Recital, absent since finishing sixth in the Derby. "Cape Blanco is so far on target to travel to Chicago for the Arlington Million on August 13. Recital is just back from a little break and could have his first outing in about four to six weeks," she added.
