Success for Aidan O'Brien with Auguste Rodin

Ryan Moore on Auguste Rodin wins

Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore opened their account on Longines Irish Champions Weekend when claiming the Group 2 KPMG Champions Juvenile Stakes with the impressive Auguste Rodin at Leopardstown.

The son of Deep Impact showed real resilience in the closing stages to complement his maiden victory at Naas in July and see off the Joseph O’Brien-trained Caroline Street by a length and a half.
