Aidan O'Brien is aiming at a trans-Atlantic Group One double in the US and France this weekend as Kieren Fallon teams up with his old ally George Washington for the first time in 16 months in tomorrow's Prix Du Moulin at Longchamp.
Last year's champion miler is joined by his stable companions Archipenko (Seamus Heffernan) and Astronomer Royal (Colm O'Donoghue) who returns to the scene of his French 2,000 Guineas triumph last May.
The nine-runner field also includes Godolphin's Sussex and Queen Anne Stakes hero Ramonti as well as the French 1,000 Guineas winner Darjina.
Before that, however, the Gordon Stakes winner and Great Voltigeur runner-up Yellowstone will fly the Ballydoyle flag in tonight's Man O'War Stakes at Belmont Park.
John Murtagh flies to New York for the ride where Yellowstone's opposition will include the French-trained Doctor Dino as well as the main local hopes, Sunriver and Shamdinan.
On the same card, Tommy Stack's high class filly Alexander Tango (Shaun Bridgmohan) runs in the 10 runner $250,000 Garden City Breeders' Cup Handicap, a Grade One event won by Luas Line two years ago.
Other Irish interest at Longchamp tomorrow will rest with Robbie Osborne's King Jock (Pat Shanahan) in the Group Three Prix Du Pin over seven furlongs.
The most valuable event at home tomorrow is the €37,000 Smirnoff Handicap Chase at the start of the Galway September meeting where fast ground should allow last year's winner On The Other Hand in with a good chance of a repeat.
