Field Of Gold secured Classic redemption for John and Thady Gosden in a Group One Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas (1,600m) rout at the Curragh on Saturday.

After suffering an agonising defeat in the Group One Betfred 2,000 Guineas (1,600m) at Newmarket three weeks earlier, the Gosdens were vindicated by their decision to remove Kieran Shoemark from the saddle in favour of Colin Keane, who steered the Kingman galloper to an impressive success.

Held up in midfield, Keane kept things simple, making his move down the outer and the pair quickened up smartly to beat ownermate Cosmic Year by just under four lengths.

In doing so, Field of Gold emulated his sire Kingman in winning the first Irish Classic of the season.

There was also redemption for Aidan O’Brien’s Lake Victoria, who left behind a poor performance in the Group One Betfred 1,000 Guineas (1,600m) to run away with the Group One Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas (1,600m).

Locked away in the box seat under Ryan Moore, the pair were screaming for room at the 600m pole. Moore didn’t panic, however, and extricated Lake Victoria out at the 400m pole before running down long-time leader California Dreamer in the final furlong and sauntering away.

It formed part of a four-timer for Moore on Sunday, with the global superstar securing the other top-level race on the card, the Group One Tattersalls Gold Cup (2,000m), on Los Angeles.

In Australia, Antino was a dominant winner of the Group One Doomben Cup (2,000m) in a race where Pride Of Jenni bitterly disappointed.

Ciaron Maher’s mare went off at a quick pace – as is her want – but came back to the field coming off the turn, with Antino scorching round the outside and quickening away from the field in a matter of strides.

It was a second Group One for the Redwood galloper, while Matthew Poon Ming-fai did Hong Kong proud by finishing sixth on roughie Klondike after a ground-saving trip.

“Really happy how he ran. He tried hard and ran well. Next start a bit further, he’ll run much better,” said Poon.
