Well we all know what happened but here's an interesting excerpt.....

O'Brien was nonplussed by the developments.

"Holy Roman Emperor was our best horse," O'Brien told the British Press Association from his Ballydoyle yard. "He was the horse we were looking forward to for the 2000 Guineas and the St. James's Palace. Paul Shanahan [from Coolmore Stud] was here at 11:30a.m. and the box came and picked him up at 11:50 a.m. I spoke to the boss [Magnier] and the more I tried to persuade him not to retire him, the more he was convinced he had to retire him. It's a sickener."

The switch leaves open the strong possibility that George Washington will return to training, although neither O'Brien nor Magnier have announced any plans about his future.
