Field Of Gold (evens favourite) and Colin Keane won the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas at The Curragh on Saturday.

Emulating his sire, Kingman, Field of Gold, won the opening Irish classic of the season, having been defeated in the English equivalent earlier in the month at Newmarket.

Trained by John and Thady Gosden, the race favourite led home a 1-2 for owners Juddmonte.

The runner-up spot went to the Harry Charlton-handled Oisín Murphy-ridden Cosmic Year (4/1), who was three and three-quarter lengths behind the winner.

The first of the Irish-trained horse home was Jessica Harrington’s Hotazhell (9/1), under Shane Foley.

Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Orby Stakes

Trustyourinstinct (5/4 favourite), a winner four times from 1 mile 1 furlong to one and a half miles, took the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Orby Stakes.

Trained by Joseph O’Brien, the five-year-old son of Churchill was down to listed company this afternoon, and duly obliged at the lower grade, running out a four-length winner.

The runner-up, Romzina (5/1), ridden by Chris Hayes for Dermot Weld, had a head advantage at the finishing line, over the third-placer, Paddy Twomey’s new recruit, Magical Hope (4/1).

Rosallion gave Seán Levey a first Irish Group 1 success with victory in the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas at The Curragh on Saturday.

The Swaziland-born rider brought the Newmarket 2000 Guineas runner-up with a late challenge to catch his stable companion, Haatem, in the shadows of the post.

It was also a first Irish 2000 Guineas for Richard Hannon Junior, whose father, Richard Snr, won the colts’ classic with Don’t Forget Me (1987), Tirol (1990) and Canford Cliffs (2010).

Arizona Blaze (7/1) and David Egan won the Group 3 Gain Marble Hill Stakes (In Memory of Theresa Mernane) when the Adrian Murray-trained colt held off Aidan O’Brien’s 4/6 favourite Camille Pizzarro by a head.

The Group 2 Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes went to 9/1 shot Mitbaahy and Jamie Spencer.

Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore claimed the opening and closing maidens on the card. Two-year-old Henri Matisse (11/8 favourite) won the Tally Ho Stud Irish EBF Maiden over six furlongs, while the three-year-old maiden over 1 mile 2 furlongs went the way of Jan Brueghel (7/2) by an impressive eight lengths.

Aidan O’Brien won the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas for the first time since Churchill’s win in 2017 when Paddington took the colts classic at The Curragh this afternoon.

The winner, ridden by Ryan Moore, and the runner-up Cairo, under Wayne Lordan, led home a 1-2 for the Coolmore partners despite a strong British challenge in the race.

At the end of the one-mile classic Paddington has two length to spare over his stablemate, who was three-quarters of a length ahead of English challenger Hi Royal passing the winning post.

 

Art Power saw the Group 2 Weatherbys Greenlands Stakes over six furlongs go for export, as the Tim Easterby-trained son of Dark Angel gave Kerry jockey Oisín Murphy his first win at The Curragh.

 

A tight three-way battle at the finish of the six furlong Gain Marble Hill Stakes saw the Jessica Harrington-handled Givemethebeatboys, under Shane Foley, get the better of Paddy Twomey’s Noche Magica (Billy Lee) and His Majesty (Wayne Lordan) by a head and a head respectively.

Last year’s Phoenix Stakes winner, Siskin, gave trainer Ger Lyons his first Classic when running out an impressive winner of the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas at The Curragh under Colin Keane.

The unbeaten colt, in the colours of Prince Khalid Abdullah, overcame trouble in running as he found himself behind the leaders, on the rail, as the race was about to unfold.

Siskin and Colin Keane win the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas.

Jockey Colin Keane kept his cool and showed great patience as he manoeuvred the eventual winner to the outside of the 11-runner field, allowing the son of First Defence show a blistering turn of foot in the closing stages.

Siskin, who had never run over the mile distance of the Guineas before, dispelled all doubts about his ability to stay eight-furlongs, as the 2-1 favourite powered on in the final half-furlong to win with a little in hand.

Vatican City, winner of a Dundalk maiden, was best of the Aidan O’Brien runners in the first Irish Classic of the season, coming home late to clinch the runner-up spot, a length and three-quarters behind the now dual Group 1 winner. Lope Y Fernandez, the more fancied of the Ballydoyle runners was third, another three-quarters of a length behind his stablemate, with another Coolmore-owned colt, Armory, in fourth.

The winning trainer said of today’s success:

“This means everything, it means 30 years’ hard graft for everybody – to win a Guineas was always my number one and hopefully it’s the first of many. That was hard work and full credit to Colin Keane. He was out there on his own today against a football team and him and the horse got it right. The horse is a legend and bailed him out.”

Ger Lyons, pictured with his first Classic winner, Siskin.

Colin Keane, who like Lyons was winning his first Classic, said of Siskin:

“He is a very straightforward horse. He got me out of trouble when I needed to quicken up, and put the race to bed. He’s a horse of dreams.”

Ger Lyons confirmed that the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas victor will not travel to Royal Ascot next week and suggested the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood as a possible next target.
