George gets Guineas vote

I suppose one has to row in with George Washington to land the Boylesports Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh this afternoon.

There is no doubt he stands head and shoulders above all ten rivals, but the major worry has to be the possibility his blinding speed could be stifled by testing ground.

The son of Danehill was a brilliant juvenile and the evidence of his stunning performance in the English 2000 Guineas at Newmarket indicated he is likely to be even better as a three-year old.
