ACAPULCO Bay confirmed his debut promise when landing the one-mile maiden race (13:45) at the Curragh on Saturday but Aidan O’Brien’s second string looked just as exciting, writes Page Fuller.

Genealogy is certainly one to keep an eye on next time after this length and three-quarters defeat. He showed signs of greenness out of the stalls, taking 3.19 seconds to reach 20mph which was slower than all bar two of the runners. The winner on the other hand was quickest, only taking 2.44 seconds, and this put Ryan Moore in the prime position to dictate affairs on the front end.
