Power

For a brief moment in the race, it looked like Daddy Long Legs might steal the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas from the front end. But young Joseph O'Brien was clearly aboard the best horse in the race on the day, and gave Power a brilliant ride to win the race. Power showed a very explosive turn of foot today at the Curragh in the final 200 meters or so of the race. I had a hunch this horse might be setting on a big race like this with the ground in Ireland more to his liking. After a sub-par effort in the English 2000 Guineas a few weeks ago at Newmarket on ground he clearly didn't like that day. Well done to young Joseph O'Brien for riding both the English and Irish 2000 Guineas winner this season at only 19 yrs. old. A lot of jockey's will never accomplish that feat during their entire careers.

Back to winning ways in the Irish 2000...nice ride by Joseph.

Can the Euros take over the breeders cup again?
