Description
Power Blue dropped down in trip and returned to winning ways to deny course specialist Big Gossey a first Group-race win in the Glenroyal Hotel And Shoda Cafe Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh.
Charles O’Brien’s Big Gossey had won at the track an incredible 10 times but has not managed to win above Listed level.
This looked a good opportunity in a relatively small field but in Power Blue he was up against a Group One-winning juvenile and that class told.
Having been up against the likes of Bow Echo and Gstaad so far this season, Robson De Aguiar’s charge was the clear form pick and so it proved, looming alongside Audience a furlong out before kicking clear.
To his credit, Big Gossey stayed on from the rear to get within a length and a half of the 11-10 favourite, who was ridden by Rossa Ryan, but his wait for a first Group-race win goes on.
