Samitar gave trainer Mick Channon and young jockey Martin Harley their first taste of Classic glory with a surprise victory in the Etihad Airway Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh.
The 12-1 chance had shown some smart form as a juvenile but looked to have plenty on her plate, having finished down the field at Newmarket and in the French 1000 Guineas on her two starts this year

So You glitters in Gold.

So You Think got his career back on track by easily defending his crown in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh.
The Australian superstar registered his first Group One victory in Europe in this mile-and-a half prize 12 months ago, but he was returning to Ireland this weekend having suffered four consecutive defeats, including when a slightly disappointing fourth in the Dubai World Cup on his first start of 2012.
