A wonderful day for Master of Ballydoyle?

THE weight of money for Wonder Of Wonders in tomorrow’s Darley Irish Oaks suggests the filly is poised to reverse Investec Oaks form with Dancing Rain and if that is the case it will bring trainer Aidan O’Brien one step closer to a second Irish Classic clean sweep.

The Ballydoyle maestro took the first of the season’s classics, the 2000 Guineas, with Roderic O’Connor, who gave his son Joseph a first Classic success, and a day later followed up with Misty For Me in the 1000 Guineas.

Then came that famous day in the Irish Derby at the Curragh when the Colm O’Donoghue-ridden Treasure Beach led home the trainer’s fourth 1-2-3 in Ireland’s Premier classic.
