John Gosden on Ombudsman heading to the Japan Cup 🇯🇵
🗣️ “Ombudsman is very well in himself, still has his summer coat and the plan is to take him to the Japan Cup for which he has to ship on November 18. At the moment one of either Devil’s Advocate or Fifth Column will be going with him.
“We didn’t want to put him on a plane just seven days after Ascot which is why he missed the Breeders’ Cup. We started him early in the year to go to Dubai but we’ve spaced his races throughout the year and I think he has benefited from it. This will be his last run and he’s off to stud after this trip.
“I’ve been to Japan a few times and had a runner in the Japan Cup when I was training in California in the 1980s as I recall, so we know our way around.”
