Derby winner Adayar to miss Prince of Wales’s return

Sun Goddess proved appropriately named on a sunkissed afternoon at the Curragh as she booked her ticket to Royal Ascot with an impressive display in the opening Revamp Conservation And Restoration Irish EBF Fillies Maiden. Second to stablemate Carry The Flag on debut at Naas she was sent off 4-11 favourite in the hands of Ryan Moore to go one better and duly obliged, scorching to a decisive five-length success to give Aidan O’Brien a third win in this particular race in the past four years. The winner was made 2-1 favourite for the Albany Stakes at the Royal meeting, with the six-furlong contest confirmed as the daughter of Sioux Nation’s likely destination. O’Brien said: “She had a lovely run the first day. We got her out the first day in case she was an Ascot filly and ran so well that that is why she is back here. “She could be an Albany filly if she knows enough, but Ryan said she is still very green between the two and the one (furlong markers) but then she started to go again after that. “We have Neolithic, who is a fair horse as well by the same stallion and this is a big rangy filly who will definitely improve plenty as she goes.” #horseracing Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!

The master trainer speaks to Gary O’Brien after victory in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas with Newmarket runner-up Gstaad. Read less

Gstaad gained ample compensation for his Newmarket second when storming to victory in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas . Aidan O’Brien’s son of Starspangledbanner, who won at Royal Ascot and the Breeders’ Cup at two, found just George Boughey’s Bow Echo too good in his first crack at Classic honours earlier this month, but like Field Of Gold 12 months ago, turned Rowley Mile silver to gold at the Curragh. With Karl Burke’s Greenham Stakes winner Alparslan leading the field along with Power Blue also towards the head of affairs, Gstaad was always just off the pace in the hands of Ryan Moore. Moore asked the 4-11 favourite to take control entering the final quarter mile and with those in behind unable to match his blistering acceleration, Gstaad readily quickened clear for an impressive three-length success over the Charlie Appleby pair of Distant Storm and Pacific Avenue. “He had a nice draw (eight) really – he was sat out there on the wing, but he was comfortable. Nothing was able to sort of get in his way and we kept it very uncomplicated,” said Moore. “I just kept asking him to creep forward from halfway and he’s got quite an extravagant stride and when able to use it, he’s an impressive horse. “He did (deserve that), he has been second a few times and has never run a bad race. Sometimes things went against him last year. “He has come back and he is a big, scopey horse and looks like he can progress further. “His mind is in an unbelievable place and there is no one better at that than Aidan. I remember him when he was a two-year-old and the way he has brought him along – he has got more confident this horse and that is down to the trainer.” #horseracing #horses Must-see compilations and best bits ➡️ http://y2u.be/Kfl2CXtG6xA Greatest Hits!
