Weld/Smullen take opening Curragh maiden
Moonlit Garden won very nicely and was very sharp. She had been showing plenty at home and has lots of pace. She will run next in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Lough Mist returned to her best two year old form there but she can be a difficult ride.
Jan Vermeer scores easy Gallinule win
we weren't sure whether Jan Vermeer was ready to win today but he has always shown loads of class and hopefully there is now more to come with him now.
Vivacious Vivienne completes hat-trick
Fame And Glory terrific in Tatts Gold Cup
Fame And Glory has been coming forward very well and is very uncomplicated over that mile and a quarter. He'll run in the Coronation Cup next at Royal Ascot, and while it is a quick bounce back for him, he is really 'there' now and everything has come alight for him.
Bethrah wins 1,000 Guineas
Bethrah is very progressive and it is great to train my first Classic winner for her owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum. Today was the day and I'll talk with Sheikh Hamdan's racing manager Angus Gold before making plans . she should have no difficulty getting a mile and a quarter though.
