WHAT have the colts Thunder Moon (won Group 1 National Stakes at two), Al Riffa (won two Group 1 races, including the National Stakes at two), Diego Velazquez (multiple Group 2 winner including at two), and Delacroix (beaten a nose in the Group 1 Futurity at two and recent winner of the Group 1 Eclipse Stakes) got in common?

They have, since 2020, been successful in the seven-furlong maiden at the Curragh that Geryon won on Saturday. Colin Keane was reunited with the Ger Lyons-trained runner, and Geryon was chased home by five juveniles representing all the O’Brien family of trainers, most of which had racecourse experience behind them. Lyons is clearly enthused about the winner’s prospects, and it will be fascinating to watch Geryon’s progress.
