Curragh Report

A mixed day for the O’Brien stable at the big Curragh meeting on Sunday as Fame And Glory returned to action with a comfortable victory in the Group 2 Royal Whip Stakes. Next up it looks likely to be either the Irish Champion Stakes or the Prix Foy on the way to the Arc.
Zoffany was impressive in the Phoenix Stakes overturning the Coventry form in beating the strongly fancied odds on Strong Suit. The Dansili colt is now quoted at 8-1 for the 2000 Guineas with my ante-post ticket on Strong Suit for the Guineas now not looking at little skinny at 5-1.
In the two-year-old fillies heat the Galileo filly Together disappointed for the O’Brien team hanging badly and finishing third behind the Jessica Harrington trained Laughing Lashes.
