First-season trainer Donnacha O’Brien is set to have his first runner in a Classic when Fancy Blues runs in the Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday.
The filly is one of 20 potential contenders for the Classic, four of which are trained by Donnacha’s father Aidan. The 2-1 favourite is Jessica Harrington-trained Prix Marcel Boussac winner Albigna.
Popular sprinter Gordon Lord Byron has died after collapsing during a during routine exercise at trainer Tom Hogan’s stable. The 12-year-old ran 108 times, winning 16 races including Group One contests in France, Britain and Australia and almost £2million.
Aidan O’Brien-trained Circus Maximus is the new favourite for the Queen Anne Stakes on the opening day of Royal Ascot on Tuesday after Richard Hannon said Queen Elizabeth II Stakes winner King of Change will miss the race.
