Kyprios ‘sound' following Leopardstown injury worry
The seven-year-old claimed a third success in the Group Three contest, with the dual Gold Cup winner seemingly well on course for another trip to Royal Ascot. However, O'Brien expressed some concern about the horse's movement leaving the winner's enclosure, saying Kyprios was 'moving a little bit gingerly in front'. The son of Galileo has subsequently been checked over and was reported to be sound on Saturday morning. Kyprios is very good this morning and is sound. We think he knocked his pastern after turning sharply in the winners enclosure. X-rays and scans were all clean and we are very happy with him. Aidan O'Brien, @Ballydoyle — Coolmore (@coolmorestud) May 17, 2025 O'Brien, quoted on the X account of the horse's owners Coolmore, said: 'Kyprios is very good this morning and is sound. 'We think he knocked his pastern after turning sharply in the winners enclosure. 'X-rays and scans were all clean and we are very happy with him.' Kyprios has followed a familiar route to Ascot in winning last month's Vintage Crop Stakes before taking the Saval Beg – the same path he took before his Gold Cup victories in 2022 and 2024, when he also enjoyed unbeaten seasons. O'Brien's charge is a general 11-10 favourite to win a third Gold Cup, which would put him level with Sagaro and Stradivarius and one win behind Yeats, who claimed four victories for O'Brien between 2006 and 2009. Speaking from Navan on Saturday afternoon, Ballydoyle representative Chris Armstrong added: 'The vets and everyone checked him over last night, and he came through all the tests well. 'The lads were happy with him overnight. He had a walk out this morning and his action was very good. 'We'll see how he is over the next couple of days and we'll ease him back into riding out. It is great where we are at the moment.'
