Aidan O’Brien’s insistence that the Newmarket 1000 Guineas would come too soon for Lake Victoria was proven in the extreme when the filly ran out a tremendously impressive winner of the Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas on Sunday afternoon at the Curragh.
Ryan Moore, who was bidding for a fourth winner of the afternoon, had his mount in the box seat from an early stage as California Dreamer set the fractions. If there was one moment of anxiety for connections, it was as Moore asked his mount to move past Duty First, who kept Lake Victoria in for just a second.
