2000 Guineas odds tighten after run by George

Bookmakers cut the odds of George Washington for next year’s 2000 Guineas even though the Aidan O’Brien-trained colt ran out only a workmanlike winner at the Curragh yesterday.

The 2-5 favourite was continuing his trainer’s domination of the Anheuser-Busch Adventure Parks Railway Stakes when he swooped to take the Group Two prize.
