THE first classic weekend of the season in Ireland brought with it much to dwell on and of the many notable aspects of the weekend at the Curragh was the spread of winners over the two days.

The expectation is that elite fixtures such as this tend to see winners become more heavily concentrated rather than spread far and wide. However 16 races over the two days produced 13 different winning trainers and no one sent out more than two winners over the course of Guineas weekend.
