Geoffrey Chaucer provided Aidan O’Brien with his thirteenth victory in the Group 2 Juddmonte Beresford Stakes when getting the better of stable-companion Oklahoma City in yesterday’s feature at the Curragh.

On a weekend when the Aidan O’Brien-trained Australia vaulted to favouritism for the 2014 Investec Derby, another Ballydoyle juvenile Giovanni Boldini created a favourable impression when making a successful debut in the www.dundalkstadium.com 2-Y-0 Race at Dundalk yesterday.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained Indian Maharaja confirmed the promise of his impressive debut success at Gowran Park when justifying 30/100 favouritism in the listed Coolmore Canford Cliffs 2-Y-0 Stakes in Tipperary last night.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained Indian Maharaja, the first foal of Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Again, proved the star of last night’s action in Gowran Park, storming home an impressive six-and-a-half lengths winner of the Irish Stallion Farms 2-Y-0 Maiden, the season’s first juvenile event over a mile.
