Review: 2000 Guineas (Race Result 2019, Race Video 2019, Race Info)
The Invincible Spirit colt was ridden by his son Donnacha O'Brien, won the first Flat racing Classic of the season to also give O'Brien his 10th win in the prestigious race. Magna Grecia had already proven his stamina, having battled well to land the Futurity at Doncaster.
Last year, the same father and son duo won the race with Saxon Warrior.
Shadwell's colt-to-watch,
Madhmoon placed a well-fought fourth. The Dawn Approach
colt looked a monster in two wins as a juvenile but was disappointing to see him land second on his comeback in the Irish 2000 Guineas trial.
While the hitherto unraced King Of Change was runner-up, Sheikh Abdullah Al Khalifa's homebred Skardu (trained by William Haggas) placed third.
