Gstaad delivered a stunning victory in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh, making amends for his disappointing second-place finish at Newmarket earlier this month. The Aidan O-trained colt proved too strong for his rivals, demonstrating why he was sent off as the 4-11 favorite.

Ryan Moore guided Gstaad masterfully, keeping the son of Starspangledbanner just off the pace before unleashing his blistering acceleration in the final quarter mile. The three-length victory over Charlie Appleby's pair of Distant Storm and Pacific Avenue showcased the horse's impressive stride and racing intelligence.

Moore highlighted O'Brien's masterful training approach, noting how the handler has built the horse's confidence. With his mind in an "unbelievable place," Gstaad appears poised for further progression this season after winning the Royal Ascot and Breeders' Cup at two years old.
