Ballydoyle Strengthens 2yo Hand in 2010 Classics

Aidan O'Brien never fails to amaze with his endless stream of Classic-worthy two-year olds. 

St Nicholas Abbey IRE (Montjeu IRE), Beethoven IRE (Oratorio IRE), Alfred Nobel IRE (Danehill Dancer IRE) are at the top of every betting list for Europe's 2010 Classics--the 2000 Guineas and Derbys. 
 

Sunday’s Criterium International (Group 1), 1m2f or 1000m, at St Cloud produced an emphatic winner in Jan Vermeer IRE (Montjeu IRE) over Godolphin’s Emerald Commander IRE (Pivotal) and favourite Rosanara IRE (Sinndar IRE) racing for The Aga Khan. 

Jan Vermeer’s jockey Johnny Murtagh bided his time at the back and, once his toe went into the heavy ground, JV took off outpacing a very decent field by four lengths.

He joins his stablemates on the betting lists quoted at 10-1 for the Derby.
