O'Brien hopeful with juvenile pair Aidan O'Brien is hopeful his two challengers can make an impression in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita on Friday. O'Brien saddles Giovanni Boldini (Ryan Moore) and Wilshire Boulevard (William Buick), while Richard Hannon and Hughes are represented by Shamshon. "Both of them like fast ground and we think both of them should get a mile," O'Brien told www.bloodhorse.com. "They are coming out of solid races and they both haven't had busy campaigns. "They are both good travellers and are very similar. They are two straightforward horses." The European team in the Juvenile Turf is completed by Charlie Appleby's Godolphin runner Outstrip, who is partnered by top American jockey Mike Smith. Appleby feels the fast surface will suit his youngster, who was third in more testing conditions in the Dewhurst Stakes last time. Appleby said: "In Europe he shows plenty of pace early doors, so I'm hoping he can show that here as well and we can give ourselves a chance of getting into a good position. "We've got a nice draw in four and Mike Smith knows his way around here, so all those are pluses so far. "We've just got to hope the horse has got that tactical speed to get himself into a good position and hold that position. "He's by Exceed And Excel and they generally like a quicker surface. "We put the Dewhurst down to more testing conditions. He lost his footing a little bit in the dip and he didn't produce that turn of foot. "This track and the conditions will suit."
