Make it Mastercraftsman

TRUST Mastercraftsman to reverse Newmarket form with Delegator in the Boylesports.com Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh today.

The Ballydoyle colt, Europe’s champion two-year-old last year, has been strongly supported this week, and looks set to start favourite to continue Aidan O’Brien’s tremendous record in this event, a race he has already won five times.

Winner of both the Phoenix and National Stakes at Group 1 level last season, Mastercraftsman ended his juvenile campaign with a below par effort in Longchamp.
