AIDAN O’Brien and Ryan Moore recorded a treble at the Curragh on Sunday afternoon, led by Diego Velazquez’s feature race win in the Group 2 Romanised Minstrel Stakes. A dual group winner at the end of last season, the Smith, Magnier, Tabor, Westerberg and Brant-owned colt was withdrawn on his planned seasonal return in May, before disappointing in the Queen Anne Stakes.
The Frankel four-year-old was sent off 11/8 favourite when dropping back to seven furlongs on Sunday and took close order in second, with Moore asking him to quicken from three furlongs out. Ridden passing the two-furlong pole, he led before the final furlong and picked up well to deny a fast-finishing East Hampton (25/1) by a neck.
