For the second year running the Group Two Romanised Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh went to Order Of Australia for Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore.
Adding to the Ballydoyle gains over at Chantilly with Blackbeard, Order Of Australia (4/5 favourite) got this done from the front, eventually disposing of Pearls Galore by three and a half lengths.
Paddy Power go 6/1 from 10/1 about Order Of Australia for the Lennox Stakes, whilst they are 14/1 from 20/1 about him for the Sussex Stakes, also at Goodwood.
“He's a lovely horse, he has loads of speed, is tough, genuine and hardy,” said O'Brien.
“He's out of that great mare. He ran a lovely race first time back at Ascot this year and the plan was to come here and go on to the Sussex with him.
“Obviously he's a Breeders Cup Mile winner so he has plenty of class. As he's getting older he's getting quicker and stronger. We're delighted with him.
“He was working very well going to Ascot but it was his first run so he had to tire a little bit and that's what he did do.
“Killian and Wayne have been over the moon with him at home. He's very straight forward to ride and very sound.
“The plan is to go to the Sussex and finish up at the Breeders Cup and he could go to Hong Kong and do all those races.
“He's at that great age now that he's seasoned, has experience, and he's quicker this year which is great. That'll be a big help in those big races.”
