Aidan O’Brien hails Gleneagles as ‘the best we’ve had’

Aidan O’Brien hailed Gleneagles as the “best miler we’ve had” after he completed a Classic double in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday.

Ryan Moore had to wait for a gap on the Newmarket Guineas hero, but he was never flustered and once in the clear the 2-5 favourite showed his class as he produced a tremendous turn of foot.

Gleneagles went on to score by three-quarters of a length from Endless Drama, with Ivawood occupying third place, as he did at Newmarket, after looking to have an easy time of it in front for much of the way. Belardo was fourth.
