What Was Your Favorite Moment of 2023?: Charlie O'Connor

Charlie O'Connor | Sarah Andrew

“The Breeders' Cup is always very special and to see a young sire like Justify get two Grade I-winning juveniles was fantastic but for me it had to be Auguste Rodin winning the Breeders' Cup Turf. He was in a hopeless position along the rail and had to be exceptional to get up for the victory. He's a colt that could stand anywhere in the world and physically he's quite similar to his grandsire Sunday Silence. It would be great to see him back at the Breeders' Cup this year and perhaps contesting the Classic as Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore both felt he handled the dirt while at Santa Anita.” —Charlie O'Connor, Director of Sales at Coolmore America
