Talking Horses: Wembley can win the cup for O’Brien in Irish 2,000 Guineas


Aidan O’Brien’s runner has proven form in heavy conditions with the Curragh set to be very testing after heavy rain

The track at the Curragh was unraceable yesterday after torrential rain and if the course passes the planned inspection on Saturday morning the going will be as tough as it gets in Ireland for the 2,000 Guineas.

This will be a completely different test to the one on fast ground when Poetic Flare and Lucky Vega were first and third in the English Guineas at Newmarket this month and the winner has to be opposed, turning up here quickly after a disappointing attempt to follow up in the French equivalent last weekend.
