Re: Horse Racing
Magician works Curragh magic.

Quote:
Magician gave Aidan O'Brien his ninth victory in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh.
Sent off at 100-30 and ridden by the trainer's son, Joseph, the colt followed a strong pace set firstly by Ask Dad, and then by the Jim Bolger representative Trading Leather, who still looked in control with a couple of furlongs remaining.
O'Brien junior never panicked and Magician powered clear to end up a convincing winner, with Gale Force Ten completing a Ballydoyle one-two.
O'Brien junior, winning his third Irish 2,000 Guineas, said: "He's a very, very tough horse and tries very hard. He stays well, he handles fast ground, he relaxes. He's a horse that is improving every day.
