Indian too hot for Classic rivals

Indian Haven gave Newmarket trainer Paul d’Arcy a first Classic success with victory in the Entenmann’s Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh today.

The 8-1 chance was supplemented into the race earlier this week at a cost of 40,000 euros and completely justified the fee as he quickened up a furlong from home before staying on too strongly for the Aidan O’Brien-trained France.
