4th place and an 8 day turnaround plus a flight across the Atlantic and entire continental US is not stopping the Coolmore boys and Starspangledbanner. He did start from stall 14 as mentioned in the quote below but this is approaching Oscar B territory if they pull this off.

From racingpost.com

Prominent throughout on the wide outside, Starspangledbanner found little when asked to quicken by Joseph O'Brien. Balmont Mast however, who travelled in a similar position, albeit on the rail, quickened well when offered a gap, coming home in 57.35 seconds, a new course record.

Aidan O'Brien said: "That was just what the doctor ordered. He had been racing on slow ground, which he hates, and he needed tonight's race. He had a bad draw and wasn't beaten far. This should leave him right for next weekend. "
