Overview

  • Field Of Gold, the favorite, delivered a dominant performance to win the Irish 2,000 Guineas, completing his Classic redemption after a close second in the British 2,000 Guineas.
  • Jockey Colin Keane replaced Kieran Shoemark for this race, marking a pivotal change that contributed to the colt's success.
  • Cosmic Year, another Juddmonte-owned runner and unbeaten prior to the race, finished second but was unable to challenge Field Of Gold's superiority.
  • Market-backed rivals such as Officer and Rashabar failed to meet expectations, with their performances falling short of the pre-race betting momentum.
  • The Curragh's good ground conditions, following minimal rain, provided an ideal surface for Field Of Gold's performance.
