Rock romps to Guineas double

Aidan O’Brien made history when becoming the first trainer to saddle the winners of the English, French and Irish Guineas in the same season when Rock Of Gibraltar scored for Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson at the Curragh today.

Rock Of Gibraltar, sent off the 4-7 favourite, was the first horse to complete the Newmarket-Curragh double since Rodrigo De Triano in 1992 when cruising home under Michael Kinane.
