THE eyes of the racing world will be on the Curragh this afternoon for the latest edition of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby where Anthony Van Dyck will bid to emulate the 18 colts who have previously completed the Epsom-Curragh double.

A victory for the Galileo colt will make it 13 victories in the race for Aidan O’Brien but standing in his way is the notable obstacle of Madhmoon who came within half a length of giving Kevin Prendergast an incredible first success in the Epsom classic.
