Tuesday lands more success for Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore at Keeneland
Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore struck again at the Breeders' Cup as Tuesday delivered the Filly & Mare Turf at Keeneland.
Despite running with credit in the second half of the season, the daughter of Galileo was without a victory since winning The Oaks in June and winning rider Moore employed similar tactics to those utilised to perfection on the Epsom Downs at Keeneland.
Content to bide his time aboard the three-year-old as Chad Brown's In Italian led the field along, Moore manoeuvred his mount into a winning position swinging for home and was poised to strike at will in the straight.
Tuesday was full of running as she hit the wire, with In Italian picking up the silver medal, while John and Thady Gosden's pre-race favourite Nashwa had to settle for a fast-finishing fourth under Hollie Doyle having been slowly away and boxed in further back than ideal on the rail for the majority of the contest.
It was O'Brien's first win in the race and he said: "She ran in the Guineas and then won the Oaks when in fact she had only reached the age of three, so she was very immature.
