Re: Horse Racing
Marvellous result for mighty Moore.

Quote:
Ryan Moore was full of praise for Marvellous after the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly provided the jockey with a first victory in the Etihad Airways Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh.
Ballydoyle number one jockey Joseph O'Brien opted to partner eventual fifth Palace, allowing the all-conquering Moore to team up with the 10-1 chance, who was running for only the third time having finished sixth in the Leopardstown trial on March 30.
The Olly Stevens-trained Lightning Thunder, narrowly beaten by Miss France in the Newmarket equivalent, went off the 100-30 favourite and led going into the final furlong, but she could not cope with the winner's late surge and went down by three lengths.
