While no other trainer has won the race as many times in the past 25 years, Bary plays down the suggestion that it’s a race he has specifically targeted. “The Jockey Club is a great race to win but it’s not one that I have had a real ambition to win over other races. It’s more that I’ve had the right horses at the right time.”
At one stage, the possibility of a sixth win was in doubt when Study Of Man’s connections Flaxman Stable were considering a tilt at the Epsom Derby following the colt’s convincing win in the Prix Greffulhe, a race that was won by Pour Moi prior to his success in the 2011 Derby, with Study Of Man as short as 16/1 in the build up to Epsom, the wider racing fraternity clearly respected his chance in the British Classic.
