Re: Horse Racing
MARS LIVES UP TO DERBY HYPE.

Quote:
Mars, early ante-post favourite for the 2013 Investec Derby, made a successful debut with the minimum of fuss at Dundalk.
Quoted as short as 12-1 for the Epsom Classic before he had even seen a racecourse, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt made most of the running to take the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
Joseph O'Brien brought the son of Galileo from his wide draw to go across to the rail and lead. Winding up the gallop, the 4-7 shot pulled clear from the furlong pole to beat his stable companion The Ferryman by four and three-quarter lengths, with My Rules third.
