‘She’s A Lot Better Than Them’: Moore’s Dream Day Continues With Frankel’s Lake Victoria In The Irish 1000 Guineas

[Wandering Eyes]

Ryan Moore will hardly have enjoyed a more straightforward Classic ride than on Frankel's 2024 champion Lake Victoria in Sunday's G1 Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas. Heavily-supported into 10-11 favouritism to build on her comeback sixth in the 1,000 Guineas three weeks ago, last year's G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes, G1 Cheveley Park Stakes and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf heroine raced in the box seat behind the 50-1 shot California Dreamer.

Squeezed out of the pocket to get after that leader two out, Aidan O'Brien's 11th winner of this Classic was in front a furlong from home en route to a 2 1/4-length success. Mehmas's California Dreamer earned second under the enterprising tactics, 1 3/4 lengths ahead of Australia's Cercene. “She wasn't quite there at Newmarket, but she's a lot better than them and I'm glad to get her back on track,” Moore said after a Group-race four-timer involving Albert Einstein, Porta Fortuna and Los Angeles.
